Question

How does the density of ice compare with the density of water.

Answer 1

Hello

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Imagine putting ice cubes in water. The one with lower density will be on top(float).
