Slightly less dense. Put an ice cube in water ; it floats. It Does NOT sink.

Why does water take up more space as steam then it does as liquid water?

Sort of, as steam water spreads around more so you could say that water takes up more space as steam.


Which takes up more space - one cup of liquid water or one cup of ice?

Liquid water would typically take up more space because as ice expands, air pockets are generated. Water takes up the entirety of the space of whatever container it is in.


Which will melt first an ice cube or an snow cube and why?

A snow cube. Water has an interesting property in that it takes a lot of energy to increase its temperature. This is due to the strong attraction between water particles (hydrogen bonding). The water particles in a solid ice cube are all strongly attracted together and are more densely packed than those in a snow cube. The snow cube has more spaces in it for air which means more of the surface area of the snow cube will be in direct contact with the air and therefore it will melt faster.


Why does an ice cube float in milk?

For the same reason it floats in water and other water-based liquids: the ice is less dense than the liquid. When water freezes, the hydrogen bonds force the oxygen atoms farther apart, and this "lattice form" takes up more space than the liquid molecules. So the ice takes up more space for its mass, is less dense, and will float on the surface of water...or milk. The denser the liquid, the higher the ice cube will sit above the top surface.


What makes water a powerful cause of weathering?

It takes up more space when it freezes


Why liquid water takes the shape of its container but ice cube does not?

Liquid is much more tangible than ice if that's what your asking....


What takes up more space 50 pounds of sand or 50 pounds of water?

Sand sinks in water, so it is more dense. Density = mass/volume. Or Volume = Mass/Density. For the same mass, more dense substance will take up less volume. So the water takes up more space.


What happens for compressed water?

particles expand hence takes up more space(flattening)
