All pure substances do.
Many substances with mixed compositions do also, although not all (for instance, you'll never see cotton as a liquid... or liquid wood...).

The density of a liquid form of a material is always less than the density of the solid form of that same material?
Yes true, however this is not true of H2O or water. Water in solid form is actually less dense than its liquid form. That is why ice floats on water.
Do all frozen liquids float on their liquid as ice floats on water?
No. Exactly the opposite. Water is the only known substance whose solid form floats in its liquid form. Which, incidentally, is a lucky accident, since life on earth would be impossible if ice sank in water.
Is ice liquid or gas?
Ice is water in its solid form. When it melts, it is water in its liquid form.
When liquid becomes a solid it had to?
When liquid becomes a solid it has to loose temperature. Because when a substance transforms into solid from liquid the atoms of that substance has to come closer to form the solid form.
Does water weight more in its liquid or solid form?
Water! As a liquid, water has a density of approximatly 1 g/mL. Ice, however, has a density of about 0.92 g/mL. This is, in fact, the reason that ice floats in water.
Does the volume of water change from solid to liquid form?
The water in ice has a larger volume that water in its liquid form. That is why Ice floats. Ice is less dense than liquid water.
Ice floats in water does frozen HNO3 float in liquid HNO3?
Besides water, a substance in solid form is more dense. At the least dense substance floats, HN03 will not float in liquid HN03. ;)
The density of a liquid form of a material is always less than the density of the solid form of that same material?
Yes true, however this is not true of H2O or water. Water in solid form is actually less dense than its liquid form. That is why ice floats on water.
What solid is an exception to the rule that solids are more dense than liquids?
The best example is ice, which is the solid form of the liquid we call water. Water's solid form (ice) floats on its liquid form, as we know.
Why does ice float on sea water?
Water in its solid form is a crystalline structure. It is one of the few substances that is less dense in solid form than in liquid form. So, being less dense, it floats.
Do all frozen liquids float on their liquid as ice floats on water?
No. Exactly the opposite. Water is the only known substance whose solid form floats in its liquid form. Which, incidentally, is a lucky accident, since life on earth would be impossible if ice sank in water.
Which liquids will an ice cube floats?
ice cubes floats in the water, because it is in the liquid form
Is ice liquid or gas?
Ice is water in its solid form. When it melts, it is water in its liquid form.
How do solid and a liquid form?
A solid and a liquid can form a solution, a suspension, the can chemically react, etc.
When liquid becomes a solid it had to?
When liquid becomes a solid it has to loose temperature. Because when a substance transforms into solid from liquid the atoms of that substance has to come closer to form the solid form.
What forms when two liquids are mixed forming a solid?
If the solid is less dense than the liquid, it floats on top. If it is of relatively equal density as the liquid it forms a colloid in which the solid and the liquid solvent are still distinct and separate, but fairly equally distributed . If it is more dense than the liquid, it precipitates out, to the bottom of the liquid. ChaosRu
Water is the only substance on earth that?
Water has many unique properties that enabled life to evolve on Earth. The one that is unique is that it expands when it freezes, thus lowering its density. This means that ice floats on water. It is the only compound or element where the solid form floats on the liquid form.
