Ice is less dense than water so it floats.
ex. ice is more dense than ethanol so it sinks.
The ability for something to float on another substance is related to the density and since ice is LESS dense than water it would float on top of water, not water on top of ice.In other words, water is more dense than ice and thus no.
density
Yes, ice will float in water because ice is less dense than water, you can think about how an iceberg floats in the ocean too.
No, the density of frozen water is less than petrol's.
No, it depens on what solution it is floating or sinking in. If the solution happens to be more dense than the ice, then ice will float. However, ice will always float on water. See related question below for more information.
Ice float on water because the density is lower.
Ice is less dense than water and will float on water.
No. That's why water doesn't float on top of ice.
Ice cubes are less dense than water.
Ice is lighter (less dense) than water. Which is why ice can float on the surface of water.
Oil/petroleum (gasoline?) will float on top of water as well.
Ice caps float because ice is less dense than liquid water. As water freezes, it expands and takes up more space, which decreases its density. This lower density causes ice to float on top of the liquid water.

Ice cubes float in drinks and water because ice is less dense than liquid water. When water freezes, it forms a crystalline structure that spaces the molecules farther apart, causing the ice to have a lower density. This lower density causes the ice to float on top of the liquid.
yes, ice does float in water. it will eventually melt and change into water.
Ice floats in a drink because it is less dense than the liquid it is in. This is due to the unique structure of water molecules, which causes ice to be less dense and float on top of liquid water.
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.
