Why do ice cubes float to the top of glass of water?
ice is less dense than water
What is the density of water in the solid state compared to that in the liquid state?
Ice has about 91.5% of the density of water. It floats because it is less dense than water.
What liquids can float on top of water?
Anything can float in different liquids as long as the object's density is less than that of the liquid's density.
Why is solid water or less dense than liquid water?
This occurs because of the structure of solid water, which is ice. When water solidifies, the water particles make the shape of a hexagon, and it locks in place. This makes it have more space between particles, and that makes it less dense. Since density is mass divided by volume, the volume of ice is greater than liquid water, but the mass stays the same.
The fact that ice is less dense than water is related to the fact that?
Water forms hydrogen bonds, which lock the water molecules into crystals that have less density than the distances between water molecules in a liquid state. Without these hydrogen bonds, such a difference in density would not be present.
Why does a coin sink and a boat float?
An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.
How does the density of water (ice) compare with the density of water (liquid)?
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
How does the density of ice compare to the density of water?
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
Is there a liquid with less density than ice?
Ethanol is less dense than water ice.
Do ice and water have the same density?
no. Density of ice is more than of water...we can understand from ice sinking in water drinks... Edited by Dr.J. : How is it possible for the density of ice to be more (greater) than that of liquid water if ice FLOATS on lakes and rivers? Clearly, the density of ice is LESS than that of liquid water.
Why will a can of Diet Coke float in water and a can of regular coke will not?
An object will float in a liquid if its density is less than the density of the liquid. The density is the mass divide by the volume.An object will float in a liquid if its density is less than the density of the liquid.

Is the density of steam more or less than the density of water?
Humid air is lighter and less dense than dry air. Steam is water as a gas. Gaseous water is less dense than dry air.
What happens to the density of water as it changes from liquid to a gas?
Gas is much less dense than liquid.
Why do a liquid water forms under the blade of ice skate?
because spesific density of ice is less than the density of water
Where does the ability of an object to float or submerge in water depends on?
ability of an object to float or submerge depends upon the density of the object and on the density of the liquid in which it is submerged if the density of an object is greater than the density of the liquid then the object submerges in the liquid and when its density is less than the density of liquid then it floats on the liquid as in submarines when it takes water in its hollow tank its density increases and it submerges and when it pushes out water from its hollow tanks its density decreases and ot floats on water
Do icecubes float?
Ice Cubes do float! This is because the density of ice is less than the density of liquid water.
What factors determine how heavy an object can be and still float?
An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.
