Hello Mate...

Good Afternoon...

Answer:

Ice floats on water because it is less dense than water. When water freezes into its solid form, its molecules are able to form more stable hydrogen bonds locking them into positions. Because the molecules are not moving, they're not able to form as many hydrogen bonds with other water molecules.

Ice floats on water because it is less dense than water . When water freezes into it's solid form it's molecules are able to form more stable hydrogen bonds locking them into positions and the molecules can't form any bonds since they are closely packed . and when they are on water they can't form bonds with hydrogen atoms present in water molecule due to stable bonds and the ice density is less than water so it floats on water .
