Most substances become more dense as their temperatures decrease. The bonds between each atom gets close and stronger, thus harder to break apart.
However, water has a special property that, at 4 degrees Celsius, the atoms are the most dense. As water gets colder, the atoms get further apart, so when water is 0 degrees Celsius (Freezing point) then the atoms are less dense than water at 4 degrees Celsius. When a substance is less dense than the liquid it`s placed in, it would float. That`s why ice water would float on water.
Ice is water - just frozen as you know. It has the same chemical composition as water - 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 Oxygen atom. Ice is basically Bouyancy neutral in water, but because it expands upon freezing, the resultant density of the ice is slightly less than that of the surrounding liquid and it floats.
The reason why ice floats on water is due to the anomalous behavior of water. Water, when cooled beyond 4oc, expands instead of contracting like other normal liquids. Due to this, the density of ice is less than that of water and it is able to float on water.
When water is cooled below 4 degree celsius,it starts to expand hence inreases in volume.this will cause the density of ice to reduce hence can float on liquid water.
Mechanical waves involve the physical transfer of vibration from one particle to another within the medium. Denser materials (solids and liquids), have closer particles so this transfer of energy occurs more quickly. :)
Sound travels the fastest in solids. Solids being the most denser make sound travel fastest as compared to liquids and gases which have speed of sound relatively less than solids.
Solids to Liquids (Melting) Liquids turning back into a Solid (Freezing) ((SCF))
compress it nearly impossiable to COMPRESS solids and liquids
It is harder to digest solids because you have to chew, then your body has to break everything in the solids down, for when you digest liquids it only has to take out proteins. Vince-liquid is easily digested but solids are not
Generally solids are denser than gas and liquids.
Some liquids are denser than others. In general, everyday experience, most liquids are denser than gases, but not as dense as solids. There are some exceptions to this rule.
A solid is as solid as solid gets. Liquids freeze and become solids. Solids become denser solids.
The denser a material is, the faster sound waves will propagate through it. Sound wave will generally propagate more easily through solids as they are denser than liquids or gases.
Liquids are easier to manipulate than solids are. Also, liquids generally conform to the shape of the container in which they are placed, while solids do not.
Gas isn't denser than liquids and solids. It's the other way around. And THIS is because the atoms in liquids and solids are closer together and there is less space to move around. In solid objects, the atoms are so close and compacted they don't move. in liquids, the atoms are a little bit farther apart. in gases, they are very spread out, making the amount of atoms LESS dense than the solids.
Because molecular(atomic)distance is less in solid than liquid.
Solids
There are too many 'materials' to list but generally, sound travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. In other words, the denser the material, the faster sound travels.

Denser than gases but (most often) less dense than solids.
By making the substance vibrate. The denser the material, the faster the sound travels. Most solids are denser than most liquids, which are denser than most gasses.
