Unlike most matter, the solid state of water actually has a lower density than its liquid state. Yes, the density of ice is greater than the density of water.
The density of ice is less than that of the water because it freezes with air pockets between the crystal structure due to its polarity.
No. Unlike many solids, water is unique. The density of a ice cube is less than that of water. In liquid form, water is constantly forming a breaking hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are bonds which have 1/20 of the power of covalent bonds and are between a hydrogen of one molecule and the oxygen of another, caused by partial negativity of the oxygen and partial positiveness of the hydrogen. In water, because of its instability, is constantly forming, breaking, and reforming hydrogen bonds. These bonds bring the H2O molecules closer together. However, in ice the hydrogen bonds push the molecules in to a set structure of a crystal lattice. A crystal lattice is the formation of the pattern in molecules. The shapes formed here are hexagons connected by hydrogen bonds. The molecules are kept in this rigid structure and are kept at a set distance, which is greater than the distance in water.
No. The density of ice is in a small range around 900 kgm-3 and that of water is normally 1000 kgm-3.
No, why else would it float? It would have to be less to make it float in water.
Yes
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 density of ice is lower than the density of water; ice float on water.
icecubes are less dense than water because when water freezes it expands giving it greater volume but the same mass
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
less than that of water
Water has a greater density than ice.
Water has higher density than ice. That is why ice floats on water.

Water
The density of ice is lower than the density of water; ice float on water.
When water is frozen, it expands, so ice has a greater volume than water. Also, since density is the volume of an object divided by its mass, and since ice has the same mass as water, the density of ice is slightly less than water, causing it to float on water.

Since both are molecules of H2O ; it must be that the molicules are farther apart in ice than they are in liquid water. But WHY water should act like that is a major mystery.
The density of ice is lower than that of water. As a result a block of ice, if wholly submerged in water, would displace a mass of water greater than its own mass. The difference between these two masses provides the upward buoyancy.
No. The ice does not float on oil or kerosene, it is because a kerosene is a non-polar solute whil the ice which came from H2o is a polar solute in which it contradicts with each other. When the ice melts, the ice become water, the water is denser than kerosene, so the kerosene floats for it has a lighter density while the water sinks for it has a denser density.

Probably the most significant thing about it from a biological standpoint is that it's greater than that of ice.
