Ice floats in water does frozen HNO3 float in liquid HNO3?
Besides water, a substance in solid form is more dense. At the least dense substance floats, HN03 will not float in liquid HN03. ;)
Is an ice cube more dense or less dense than liquid water?
Less dense. For most substances, the solid form is more dense than the liquid form; water is a notable exception.Less dense.

Why does a can of pop expands when frozen?
This is an odd characteristic of water and water-based drinks, that the frozen form of it is less dense than the solid form of it. If frozen water sat in water, then it would float. if any other solid form of a liquid sat in its liquid form, it would sink. Water expands when it freezes, but most elements dont. The "water" inside these cans are already pressured, so when it expands when frozen, its too much for the can to handle and it bursts.
What is the most dense form of water?
Liquid water is the densest form.
Why is frozen water so unique?
Water is the only substance that the solid form is less dense than the liquid. This means that it floats. This is very useful because otherwise, the whole ocean would be frozen!
In what phase of matter is water the most dense?
Water is the most dense in its liquid form.
What solid is an exception to the rule that solids are more dense than liquids?
The best example is ice, which is the solid form of the liquid we call water. Water's solid form (ice) floats on its liquid form, as we know.
How do you know when solid and a liquid form a liquid?
When the solid was frozen. e.g Water + ice = water.
Is ice the most dense form of water?
No. In fact, ice is usually less dense than 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.
Why do you consider water as liquid?
Water is only a liquid in its liquid form, when it is frozen it becomes a sold and when it evaporates it becomes a gas
Why do molecules in water expand when frozen?
The water molecules are formed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. However, as the temperature drops the hydrogen atoms slow down and form very tight bonds, but without the presence of oxygen atoms. This creates a more open molecular network, which is why frozen water is less dense than when in liquid form.
