Explain that ice is harder than liquid water?

Ice is harder than liquid water because the molecules of ice are linked more tightly together.


What is waters characteristics because of hydrogen bonding?

Liquid water is denser than ice,Ice floats on top of liquid water.


Is liquid water more dense than ice water?

yes liquid water is more dense than ice water


How does the density of water (ice) compare with the density of water (liquid)?

Ice is less dense than liquid water.


Is liquid water less dense than ice cubes?

No. Liquid water is more dense. This is why ice cubes float on liquid 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.


In which liquids will an ice cube float?

in water or anything which is denser than 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.


How does ice differ from water?

Water is liquid, ice is solid. Water is usually warmer than ice.


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).


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.


What is hevier ice or water?

If you freeze a sample of liquid water it should expand but still weigh the same amount. Water is denser than ice so by volume liquid water is heavier than water ice, thus ice floats.
