Frozen water, ice, is less dense than the water from which it is formed.
Which is a GOOD idea, otherwise if it were heavier, it would sink, and the fish would get stuck! (As my old teacher put it.)

Is C8H18 a aqueous solution?
No, C8H18 is not an aqueous solution. It is a chemical formula for octane, which is a hydrocarbon compound commonly found in gasoline.
Is bubble liquid a compound?
No. A bubble consists of a liquid envelope enclosing a gas. The liquid could be many different substances (such as soap solution), some of them compounds and some of them mixtures of compounds. The gas would most commonly be air which is a mixture of compounds.
Is zinc sulfate available in liquid form?
I wouldn't say that it is "available" but it exists.Zinc sulfate is a crystaline compound and has a high melting point, meaning that it is very impracticle to keep as a liquid. But you can have zinc sulfate solution which is just zinc sulfate crystals dissolved in water.
What liquid metal was commonly used in thermometer?
We still use colored alcohol for our liquid in everyday thermometers.
What is the difference between a liquid and its chemical composition?
A liquid is a compound or a mixture; the chemical composition is representative for this liquid.
What causes objects to float?
in relation to solids or liquids in liquids: Density. A lighter density compound/liquid will float in a heavier density liquid
What is suspensibility of any compound?
Suspensibility of any compound refers to the amount of active ingredient that can be suspended in a liquid. It is commonly given as a percentage.
What is the compound name for liquid glass?
Liquid glass is a chemical compound with the name sodium metasilicate, or sodium silicate more commonly. It is used in a number of industrial processes and as an additive to cement.

Does ice can be consider as compound?
Yes, ice is considered a compound by chemists. Ice is simply the solid form of the compound most often called water, which occurs most commonly as a liquid. The gaseous state of water also is present in the natural atmosphere of Earth.
What is compound manometer?
Compound Manometer is an 'U' Tube manometer having 'T' joints at appropriate equal elevation in the columns of U tube manometer where the impulse lines are to be connected to measure Differential Pressure. T joint allows the use Two liquids simultaneously in the manometer. i.e. the liquid who's differential pressure is to be measured being lighter it will gauge at the top and a heavier liquid which does not dissolve with the lighter fluid will gauge at the bottom. Elevation difference in lighter liquid as well as heavier liquids gives their respective differential pressure. Both the differential pressure will be equal in terms of Pressure Units. Since two liquids are used simultaneously this type of U tube manometer is called Compound Manometer.
Why is butane gas a liquid in lighter but a gas in water?
The liquid butane in a lighter was compressed, and is under pressure. At normal temperatures, if released from the lighter it will change back to a gas. Extremely rapid evaporation.
