Does ice float because water becomes more or less dense when its frozen?
The structure of frozen water (ice) is less dense than the random arrangement of the water molecules in liquid water, thus ice floats because water becomes less dense when it is frozen. Because of buoyancy forces, an object placed in a liquid will float if it is less dense than the liquid and sink if it is more dense.
Is a rubber ducky more dense then water?
no beacause a rubber duck floats and if an object floats in water, is is less dense than the water if it sinks it is more dense
Where cool dense water sinks does it become more dense?
When cool dense water sinks, it becomes more dense because the cooler temperature causes the water molecules to contract and become more tightly packed together. This increased density allows the water to sink below warmer, less dense water layers.
Does heavy rainfall make ocean water more or less dense?
Heavy rainfall makes water less dense because an increase in salinity leads to an increase in density. Rain does not contain any salt. Therefore heavy rainfall makes ocean water less dense. =)
Bubbles rise in water because they a. are so tiny b. less dense than water c. more dense than water d. fluids?
less dense than the liquid they are in. Water is more dense than air, therefore water is below air. This explains why the oceans aren't in the sky.
Why is ice less dense than water due to the presence of which type of bond?
Ice is less dense than water because of the presence of hydrogen bonds.
Does ice float because it is less dense than water?
Yes. Anything that is less dense than water will float on water.

What type of bond makes ice less dense than water, as depicted in the illustration of ice molecules?
The hydrogen bonds between water molecules make ice less dense than water.
Is a rubber ducky more dense then water?
no beacause a rubber duck floats and if an object floats in water, is is less dense than the water if it sinks it is more dense
Icecubes float in water because they are less?
Dense
Do less dense things float in water?
Yes, less dense objects float in water because they are lighter than the water they displace.
Wood floats on water because it?
because it is less dense
Does lithium sink under water?
No, lithium is less dense than water, so it will float on the surface of water.
Why does a kidney float?
Because it is less dense then water
Why a porcuspine floats in the water?
because it is less dense.
What are 5 examples of floating and sinking?
Ice floats in water because it is less dense than water. A wooden boat floats on water because it is less dense than water. A balloon filled with helium gas floats in the air because it is less dense than the surrounding air. A cork floating in water floats because it is less dense than water. A rock sinks in water because it is more dense than water.
