Yes. Because it has been observed that, when same mass of water is converted into ice, the volume increases up to nearly 1/11 th of that of the water. As density=mass/volume, so density is inversely proportional to volume.
Simple experimental demonstration:
-- Drop ice in water.
-- Ice floats in the water.
-- Ice must be less dense than the water, else it would sink.
QED
What else can I help you with?
How is water different to most substances when it is at freezing point?
Water expands when it freezes. Ice is lighter and denser than liquid water. Ice Floats! Most substances get denser when they turn from liquid to solid.
Which is denser ice or cold water?
Cold Water. Water expands when it freezes, which makes ice less dense.
What is waters characteristics because of hydrogen bonding?
Liquid water is denser than ice,Ice floats on top of liquid water.
Why does ice float in liquid water in 5 sentences?
because ice is denser than the water durt de dur
Why is water denser than ice?
Water is denser than ice because the molecules in water are closer together and more tightly packed, while in ice, the molecules are arranged in a more open and spaced-out structure, causing ice to be less dense than liquid water.
If ice is less dense then liquid water what will happen on the surface of the liquid?
Ice actually is denser than water. Like anything less denser than water, ice actually does float on water. The density of ice is 920 kg m-3 whereas the maximum density of water is 1000 kg m-3.
Why is ice denser than water?
Ice is denser than water because when water freezes and turns into ice, the water molecules arrange themselves in a hexagonal structure, causing them to be more spread out and take up more space, making ice less dense than liquid water.
What is hevier ice or water?
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.
In which liquids will an ice cube float?
in water or anything which is denser than ice
What is the most dense form of water?
Ice is the most dense form of water. When water freezes into ice, its molecules arrange in a way that makes ice denser than liquid water, which is why ice floats on water.
When the water densest as a liquid or solid?
Water is an atypical substance in that its liquid phase is denser than its solid phase. This can be seen as ice floats in a glass of water.
Is it true that ice is denser than liquid water?
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...
