Best Answer

Ice has a lower density.

You shouldn't really need to ask this because I'm sure you've seen ice floating on water, which means ice must be less dense than water.

Is liquid water less dense then Ice?

No. Ice is less dense than water. Because ice is less dense it displaces less water and floats. Water is most dense at 4o C. any change in temperature, either up or down, lowers the density.


Is ice more or less dense than than liquid water?

Ice is less dense than water at the same pressure. That is why ice cubes and icebergs float on the water.

Ice cubes are less dense than liquid water, which is why they float.


Does ice float because water becomes more or less dense when its frozen?

The structure of frozen water (ice) is less dense than the random arrangement of the water molecules in liquid water, thus ice floats because water becomes less dense when it is frozen. Because of buoyancy forces, an object placed in a liquid will float if it is less dense than the liquid and sink if it is more dense.


Is ice less dense than warm water?

Yes, ice is less dense than liquid water, regardless of its temperature. Dry ice will sink.
