Ice's density is lesser than water so it floats on water.
Ice has a density of 0.917 g/cm³ while water has a density of 2.17 g/cm³ so ice floats on water.
The water displaced by ice when it is dispersed in water, it displaces water lesser than its weight hence, it floats.

because ice have less density than water as it has higher volume when compared to water
yes you both r rite
ice has got less density than water...
Speaking in terms of physics due to water's property of anomalous expansion of water ,until 4 degree water becomes denser and denser but if the temperature is less than 4 degree Celsius than water starts to loose it's density....and as temperature decreases the molecules start to move apart from each other forming a less dense water molecule. Thus ice floats on water..
