Ice is less dense than water because as water cools and becomes a solid (freezes), hydrogen bonds form between the water molecules. In the liquid phase of water, the molecules "snuggle up" to each other in the fluid. But as water goes solid, the hydrogen bonds dictate that the molecules will have to "stop snuggling" and move apart a bit as those hydrogen bonds set up spacing in the now-solid molecules. Ice has become less dense than the water that it formed from because the hydrogen bonds, which begin forming at just above 0 °C, force the molecules apart a bit to form the solid (ice) matrix.
Volatile liquids such as alcohol and ethanol have less density than water. They also evaporate faster than water does.
Ice cubes float in water because they are less dense than liquid water. The solid water molecules in ice are spaced farther apart than the molecules in liquid water, causing the ice to be less dense. This difference in density allows the ice cubes to float on the surface of the water rather than sink.

In general, liquids have lower densities than solids. This is because particles in a liquid are less compactly arranged compared to those in a solid, leading to a lower density. However, there are exceptions, such as ice having a lower density than liquid water.
The density of water in the solid state (ice) is lower than in the liquid state. This is due to the unique structure of ice, where water molecules form a crystalline lattice with more space between them compared to the closely packed molecules in liquid water. This expansion upon freezing is why ice floats on water.

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.
Ethanol is less dense than water ice.
Humid air is lighter and less dense than dry air. Steam is water as a gas. Gaseous water is less dense than dry air.

Gas is much less dense than liquid.
Not always - the density of a liquid may be greater or less than that of the solid form depending on the molecular structure and arrangement. For example, water is an exception as its solid form (ice) is less dense than its liquid form.
because spesific density of ice is less than the density of water
For an object to float in a liquid, the buoyant force acting on the object must be equal to or greater than the weight of the object. This depends on the density of the object, the density of the liquid, and the volume of the object submerged in the liquid. The object will float if its density is less than the density of the liquid.
