Due to hydrogen bonds, the density of water decreases as it freezes (decrease starts at 4oC). To see a full explanation of why ice floats in water, see the related question below.
It is because water is more dense than ice.
Its density. It density is less then that of water. Rather unusual.
Buoyancy; negative density.
i think it's density.
Its buoyancy.
density
It sinks. Pure ethanol has a density of about 0.7, so ice is more dense than the ethanol.
Ice has a lower density than water.
Ice is a form of water that will float on the surface of the ocean.
According to Wikipedia, ice sheets are bigger than ice shelves. Additionally, ice shelves float on water, while ice sheets cover terrain.
magnetic property
density
Buoyancy; negative density.
when water turns to ice its volume increases whilst its weight stays the same, therefore ice has a lower density than water, and this allows it to float.
Ice is less dense than water, therefore, it is able to float on top of water, which is more dense than ice. Because of this unique property of water, life is able to exist in Antarctica, seeing that organisms would need to be able to utilize water for metabolic functions.

There is NO property of water that allows things to float. Floating in not a property of a substance. It is the difference in density of two objects that allows one to be buoyant when surrounded by the other. This a balloon can float on air, A steel ship can float on water and oil can float on water.

The potency of ice to be less dense then its liquid form of water gives it special "luck" if i may call it that. It allows for ice to float.
Obviosly Ice cream has milk, but their are certain chemicals in one another. Vanilla ice cream has a chemical named SIO which provides the VANILLA ice cream to float; & Chocolate ice cream has another chemical named TEO which allows the CHOCOLATE ice cream to sink to the bottom of the container.
Ice float on water because the density is lower.
