Except at EXTREME pressures (like over 200 MPa), ice is less dense than liquid water. In the case of polar water this is even more the case since polar water has a fair amount of salt dissolved into it, raising it's density, while the ice is nearly pure water.

Why does oil float in water?
The density of oil is what makes it float on water. Oil is less dense than water and does not mix or dissolve within the water. Therefore, it floats.The density of oil is what makes it float on water. Oil is less dense than water and does not mix or dissolve within the water.
How call you tell if a substance is more or less dense then water?
if it sinks its more dense if it floats its less dense
Icecubes float in water because they are less?
Dense
The tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid is called what?
The tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid is called buoyancy. Acids are substances that form hydronium ions when dissolved in water.
Where cool dense water sinks it become more dense?
In the Mediterranean Sea the cool dense water sinks under less dense water which is called density current.
Does polar water diluted by melting become more or less dense?

When water and oil are mixed together are they both polar or non polar?
Water is polar and oil is nonpolar. This is why they separate upon standing. The reason that the oil sits on top of the water is that it is less dense than water..
What are the 3 properties of water?
1. H2O is polar 2. Universal solvent 3. Solid form of water is less dense (ice)

What would happen if the icebergs started melting?
Icebergs are already melting, but they only add very slightly to sea level rise (Icebergs are fresh water, which is slightly less dense than sea water).
Is ice less dense or more dense than water?
no
Is water less or more dense than water?
Ice is less dense than water
Why does oil stay at the top of the glass when added with cold water?
Oil is less dense than water, and it also does not dissolve in water (the technical reason being that water is a polar solvent and oil is non-polar). Hence, oil floats on water.
