Yes. Water is liquid ice, and ice is solid steam.
Ice floats because it is about 9% less dense than liquid water.
Its obvious No!
If you freeze a sample of liquid water it should expand but still weigh the same amount. Water is denser than ice so by volume liquid water is heavier than water ice, thus ice floats.
The chemical formula is the same -H2O.
Water and ice are the same chemical substance in different physical phases, liquid and solid respectively.
Solid (ice), liquid and vapor (steam) are (chemically) all of the same compound WATER with one chemical formula H2O, but in three different physical states of matter.
You are correct, Ice and water have the same composition but the do not have the same DENSITY.When water freezes to form ice, the spacing of the water molecules held rigidly in the ice crystal is actually further apart than the molecules are when they in the liquid state. Water therefore EXPANDS on freezing (which is why frozen pipes burst) and the ice crystals are therefore less dense than the liquid water.
Liquid water
The Ice will have a greater volume than the liquid water it is made form. This is because Ice is less dense than water (- we can see this because ice floats), a very unusual property of 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.
The liquid has the same mass but less volume than the ice.
Liquid water is denser than ice,Ice floats on top of liquid water.
