when you put an ice cube into water, you can see that it floats to the top. in order for an object to float in water, it can't have a larger density than the water itself. so ice is not denser than water. but water is denser than ice. another interesting question... why does ice sink in alcohol...
The easiest way to think about this would to picture putting an ice cube in a glass of water. Does the ice cube sink or float? It floats, which then implies that it is less dense than water. This is an anomaly with water in that the solid form of it is actually less dense than the liquid form.
Then ice would sink to the bottom of the ocean and it would eventually freeze over. This would kill all plants and animals in the water and many land ones too. Water's unique properties are very essential for life.
Ice is not denser than water. if something is more dense than a certain liquid, it sinks in that liquid. Ice floats in water so, therefore, water is denser than ice. :) Hope I helped. :) :) :)
Under what we here on Earth would consider "normal" conditions, ice is less dense than water, which is why ice floats on water.
The full phase diagram for water is complicated, and the extremely high pressure solid phases (Ice III, for example) are more dense than the liquid phase, but unless you're working at pressures of thousands of atmospheres, you don't need to worry about those.
No ice is less dense than water, which is why it floats.
no
yes
Oil floats on water because water is denser than oil.
Usually, a liquid is less dense than a solid, so when a solid melts its volume increases. However, this is not true for water or water-based liquids, because the H bonds make liquid water highly structured and therefore denser than expected.
water is a liquid solid and gas
Yes true, however this is not true of H2O or water. Water in solid form is actually less dense than its liquid form. That is why ice floats on water.
no this is not true baby oil has more density than water.
Liquid water is denser than ice,Ice floats on top of liquid water.
that is true

No. Solid gold is denser than liquid gold and so it will sink. This is true of almost every substance except water.
Being heavier (denser) than water, it would sink.Being heavier (denser) than water, it would sink.Being heavier (denser) than water, it would sink.Being heavier (denser) than water, it would sink.
This is not true. Scientists measure the density of anything they come across. Perhaps you are confused by the fact that it is easily possible to measure the volume of objects denser than water by dropping them in and measuring how the volume of liquid appears to go up. It's much more fiddly to measure the volume of objects which are less dense than water and so float in it.
Water is denser than oil, so yes, it will sink. That is true whether the water is inside a balloon or not.
cold water is denser than hot water. The same is true of most other substances as well.

no this is not true baby oil has more density than water.
