Question

Why does ice floats on water?

Answer 1

Because it has less density than water, about 0.92 g/cc whereas water has 1.00 g/cc.

Hope this helps :)

↪When water is cooled from room temperature it first contracts in volume and becomes increasingly dense as doother liquids, but at 4° C water reaches its maximum density. ... ice float on water because because it lighter thanwater and the molecules are in cage like structure which make it float on water.✔

↪As it cools further and freezes into ice, it actually becomes less dense. On the other hand, most substances are most dense in their solid (frozen) state than in their liquid state. Water is different because of hydrogen bonding. ... The heavier waterdisplaces the lighter ice, so ice floats to the top.☝✔
