Water,thats why ice float on water.
The density of ice is lower than the density of water; ice float on water.
Most dense: Water Medium: Ice Least dense: Steam
Water has a greater density than ice.
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
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.
It tells you that the ice is less dense than the water.
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
ice floating on top of water because water has more density than ice.
The density of water is about 1 g/cm3, and it varies with temperature, not amount. Water is most dense at 4 degrees C. Below that temperature, the density of water decreases, so that frozen (solid) water (ice) is less dense than liquid water. This is why ice floats on water.
The density of ice is lower than the density of water.
There are microscopic bubbles of air trapped in the ice - making it lighter than the water.
Water floats when it is in the solid phase, called ice. Ice floats because the density of ice is less than the density of water.
