when water freezes it expands therefor the water takes little space to take of a larger area then when it is placed in water it will float because it is less dense
OR
The simple, easy explanation:
Water is one of the only liquids that expands when it freezes.
Because it puffs up bigger when it's solid ice, it weighs less than water.
And anything that weighs less than water will float on water like ice.
water level will remain the same
Yes. Ice floats in water because it is less dense. Mercury is over ten times denser than water. So ice easily floats in mercury.
It is less than the density of water, so that it floats
It is less than the density of water, so that it floats.
The structure of frozen water (ice) is less dense than the random arrangement of the water molecules in liquid water, thus ice floats because water becomes less dense when it is frozen. Because of buoyancy forces, an object placed in a liquid will float if it is less dense than the liquid and sink if it is more dense.
The reason why ice will float in water is because ice is not as dense as water, therefore, it floats.
Ice is less dense than water, so it floats.
Ice floats in water whenever you PUT ice in water, That's so simple. Whenever you put ice in water it floats ALL THE TIME!
It is less dense than water, therefore it floats on 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.
Of course. Fresh water floats on salt water, warmer water floats on cooler water, and ice floats on any water.
ice cubes floats in the water, because it is in the liquid form
Ice generally floats in water.
I think that salty ice cube do float in water because ice bergs float it water and they're made of salty water. i think i depends on the density (Amount of salt) in the ice
Liquid water is denser than ice,Ice floats on top of liquid water.
It floats because its less densest than water
Ice is less dense than water.
