Why does ice floats on water?????? #kfdjjxj

Answer 1

A substance with lower density than water can float on water. Therefore, ice floats on water. When Water molecules freeze, The hydrogen bonds strengthen and push the other water molecules farther away. Hence, the space between the water molecules increases as it freezes from water.

Answer 2

$\mathfrak{\huge{\pink{\underline{\underline{AnswEr:-}}}}}$

According to Archimedes' principle for any object to float on water, the amount of water should be equal to the weight of the object that has to be displaced or in other words, it states that for any object to float on water, it must displace an equal amount of water. We all know that solid objects have more density as compared to liquids. As, the molecules are bonded more closely to each other in a solid object, due to which they are hard and has more weight.
