Question

Why is the density of ice less than the density of water even though it has more volume??

Answer 1

It is because the orientation of the hydrogen bonds causes molecules push apart causing to lower the density.

Answer 2

Answer:

Due to anamolous expansion of water,the density of water is maximum at 4 degree C. Water when cooled contracts till 4 degree Celsius but after that it expands. So the volume of ice is more than the volume of water.

We know that volume is inversely proportional to density. More volume less is the density that is why density of ice is less than the density of water and hence it floats in water.
