Ice is NOT more dense than water; unlike most solids, a quantity of water will expand when frozen, thus decreasing the density and causing it to float. This is due to the strong forces caused by the powerful hydrogen bonds between the H and the O atoms of nearby water molecules.

Which is more dense lead or water?
Lead is more dense than water.
Why is sea water more dense then fresh water?
Sea water is more dense because the minerals, especially salt, make it more dense.
A cork piece floats on water but an iron nail sinks give reason?
Things that are less dense than the water they displace will float (like cork) Things that are more dense than the water (like a nail) sink.
Is liquid water more dense than ice water?
yes liquid water is more dense than ice water
Is Liquid water less dense or more dense?
Liquid water is more dense than ICE , and More dense than water vapour(steam). Liquid water is at its most dense at 2 oC. Water on freezing to ice expands by about 10% of its volume. This is because of the lattice arrangement of water molecules in ice., which does not occur in liquid water., Hence ice floats on water. (icebergs).
Which is probably denser the water in the Arctic Ocean or the water in the Caribbean sea?
All else being equal cold water is more dense than warmer water. The Arctic Ocean, being colder, would be more dense.
How dense is sodium chloride?
More dense than water. Maybe 1.5 with 1 being H2O.
What is more dense then water?
Anything that sinks in water is more dense than water.
Is cold ocean water more dense than water water?
more dense
Is a magnet more dense than water?
a magnet is more dense then water
Which is more dense lead or water?
Lead is more dense than water.
Why is sea water more dense then fresh water?
Sea water is more dense because the minerals, especially salt, make it more dense.
Why is easier for things to float in seawater?
I would be thinking the salt is the reason. The salt makes the water more dense, so things that were more dense as compared to the water before become less dense as compared to seawater. So yeah, that's why things are more buoyant in seawater.
Is chlorine less dense or more dense than water?
more dense
Is air more of less dense then water?
No everything is layered in density, water is much more dense than air. The whole planet is organized based on density with the core being the most dense and the exosphere being the least dense.
Which is most dense ice or water?
Water is more dense.
Is very salty water more or less dense than more dense?
More Dense.
