no. Density of ice is more than of water...we can understand from ice sinking in water drinks...
Edited by Dr.J. : How is it possible for the density of ice to be more (greater) than that of liquid water if ice FLOATS on lakes and rivers? Clearly, the density of ice is LESS than that of liquid water.

Does density have an effect on ice?
The density of ice is lower than the density of water; ice float on water.
Why ice bergs float in water?
The density of water is 1.0, the density of ice is less than 1.0 so it floats. The same principle applies to bubbles underwater.
How does the density of ice compare to the density of water?
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
Ice cubes float at the top of a glass of water What does this tell you about the density of ice compared to the density of water?
icecubes are less dense than water because when water freezes it expands giving it greater volume but the same mass
What happens to the mass when water freezes?
No, as long as it is the same peice of ice. The volume and the density change but not the mass

Is it true ice floats on water because water expands when it freezes?
It is true that water expands as it freezes, but the reason it floats on water is because the density of solid water (ice) is less than that of liquid water. And the density of ice is lower because of the expansion (same mass/larger volume).
Is dry ice or normal ice heavier?
Ice expands as it warms. At 4 degrees C water achieves it's maximum density. Warm ice is less dense than cold ice. Any amount of liquid water would mean that the ice has gotten as warm as it can get and that it is in equilibrium with the liquid water. The ice, being crystalline, has a discreet melting point so it is either water or it is warm ice. If the ice is wet, it is less dense than ice that is cold enough that the water in contact with it freezes. That doesn't mean that warm ice must be wet ice. If the water is removed, the dry ice will be the same density as the wet ice of the same temperature. Having said that, it is possible that you want to contrast the density of frozen carbon dioxide to water ice. * Water ice has a density of 0.92 g/ml * Dry ice (CO2) has a density range from 1.4 to 1.6 g/ml
Water weight ice weight?
Water's weight, when frozen into ice stays the same, but the density of water is much higher than ice's, since Ice has the same weight and contents of Water, but takes up significantly more space.
Which has greater density ice or water how can you say that?
Water has a greater density than ice.
What causes ice to float in liquid water?
When water is frozen, it expands, so ice has a greater volume than water. Also, since density is the volume of an object divided by its mass, and since ice has the same mass as water, the density of ice is slightly less than water, causing it to float on water.
How does the density of ice compare to the density of water?
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
Examples of natural changes in density?
-When water is frozen it turns to ice and the density (weight) increases - The density of a molten lava increases as it cools and hardens - Also, sometimes the density of water in either state a solid or a liquid stays the same with water, when it's not really cold
Describe how liquid water and ice affects rocks?
When water is frozen, it expands, so ice has a greater volume than water. Also, since density is the volume of an object divided by its mass, and since ice has the same mass as water, the density of ice is slightly less than water, causing it to float on water.

A piece of ice floats on water. what does this tell you about the density of ice compared to the density of water?
It tells you that the ice is less dense than the water.
