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 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).


A piece of ice floats on water. what does this tell you about the density of ice compared to the density of water?

It tells you that the ice is less dense than the water.


Which is most dense liquid water water vapor or ice?

The most dense form of water is liquid water. Ice is less dense than liquid water, which is why ice cubes float in a glass of water. Water vapor is the least dense form of water, as it is a gas and occupies more space compared to liquid water and ice.


Is liquid water less dense than ice cubes?

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


Is ice less dense or more dense than water?

no


Is an ice cube more dense than liquid water?

No. Ice takes more space than water, so the same volume of ice and water will be less heavy.
