Answer:

ice is actually about 9% less dense than water. Since the water is heavier, it displaces the lighter ice, causing the ice to float to the top.

Answer:

Ice is a solid so it floats on water because water molecules expand on freezing and form an open cage-like structure. This leads to a decrease in the density of ice.
