Water has a greater density than ice.
When water freezes, it expands, which means the same amount of H20 is taking up
more space. Since density is a ratio of the amount of matter in an object (mass) to
how much space it takes up (volume), if something is larger in size and has the same
mass as something smaller in size, the smaller thing will always have more density
than the larger thing.

∙ 13y agoSuppose you have a certain amount of water, say 100 grams. When water freezes, as you may know, and as the ice forms, it expands to a larger volume than the original 100g of water. The mass is the same, but it expanded, so the volume is larger.
Density is mass per unit volume. So if mass is constant, and volume increases, you end up with something less dense.
Hence, ice is less dense than water.

Sorry, but the water is more dense than the ice! That's why the ice floats.

What is more dense water vapor liquid water or ice?
Ice water is more dense than warm water.
What are examples of practical applications for density?
An example of real life density is "ice floating on water." Ice floats on water because it is less dense than water. Things that are less dense float on top of things that are more dense because molecules in ice are further apart than molecules in water.
What is an example of a solid that Is less dense than a liquid?
Solid water, ice, is less dense than its liquid state. This is essential for aquatic life. Since ice is less dense than liquid water, it floats to the top of of the water. This insulates the water beneath the ice, allowing the water beneath the ice to remain liquid. For other substances, the solid state is more dense than the liquid state.
Which is denser water or the same water that formed into an ice tube?
Liquid water is denser because when water freezes, the water particles spread out as they solidify. This means that the same amount of particles take up more space, causing the density to decrease. Ice is less dense also because ice cubes float on liquid water. Less dense things float on more dense things.
Which weigh more water or ice?
It depends how much water and how much ice you hae. if you have 1 ice cube and 6 cups of water, the water will weigh more. But, if you have 10 ice cubes and 1/4 cup of water the ice will weigh more.
What is more dense water vapor liquid water or ice?
Ice water is more dense than warm water.
Which is most dense ice or water?
Water is more dense.
Is liquid water more dense than ice water?
yes liquid water is more dense than ice water
Is water or ice more dense?
Water is more dense than ice because it's molecules are closer together.
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).
Is a ice cube more or less dense than liquid water?
Ice cubes are less dense than liquid water, which is why they float.
Is an ice cube more dense than liquid water?
Slightly less dense. Put an ice cube in water ; it floats. It Does NOT sink.
Is ice less dense or more dense than water?
no
Which one is more dense water or ice?
water
Is water less or more dense than water?
Ice is less dense than water
Is solid ice more dense than water?
No. It is less dense.
Is liquid water less dense than ice cubes?
No. Liquid water is more dense. This is why ice cubes float on liquid water.
