Question

How does the density of liquid water compare with the density of ice?

Answer 1

Ice is less dense then water. This is the function of the structure of water molecules. Due to the bent structure of wather molecules as the temperature is reduced and water starts to crystalize, it does not pack very closely. Liquid water is more dense because the molecule are closer together. This is why ice floats. If ice packed more closely to become more dense it would sink and in oceans kill all life under it by crushing them

Answer 2

water expands when it freezes, unlike most substances, so the ice is less dense. it is the same amount of mass as it started with(water), but it has more volume than it started with. Archimedes principle says that in order to float, an object must way less than the amount of water displaced by its volume. ice has more volume than water. that is why ice floats to the top of your drink, or glaciers are at the top of the ocean at the extreme north/south
