∙ 13y agoIce is less DENSE than water. This seems odd, as we usually expect colder things to become more dense than their warmer counterparts. But the hydrogen bonding in water makes it expand just below freezing, and so ice becomes less dense than water, and so it floats.

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
Will crude oil float on water or sink?
Most (but not all) oil is less dense than water. That oil which is less dense than water will float. That oil which is denser than water will sink.
Why does paper float on water?
because it's less dense .
Why does dust float?
Dust floats in water because it is less dense than the water.
Suppose you put a birthday caddle in a glass of water why will the caddle float on top of the water?
It will float on top because it is less dense than water.
Do icecubes float?
Ice Cubes do float! This is because the density of ice is less than the density of liquid water.

Why does tomato float in water?
If it does, indeed, float, you can safely assume that the reason is because it is less dense than water.
Why does paper float on water?
because it's less dense .
How do things float?
things float because they are less denser then the water. second things do not float, the molecules from the water support the molecules from the thing on the water. that is how something heavy can float. it just has to be boyent meaning it is spread out enough so there is more water molecules to hold it up. if you mean in the air it is the same concept.
Can coal float on water?
coal can float on water, because water's density is 1.0 g/cm3. and nothing is able to float on water unless it's density is less than water's density (; hope this helps you out! coal can float on water, because water's density is 1.0 g/cm3. and nothing is able to float on water unless it's density is less than water's density.
