For the same weight, ice has more volume (takes up more space) than water. That is why ice floats in water. It is a property pretty unique to water. Normally in other elements, the solid form would sink.

∙ 13y agoWater and Ice though are made of the same thing i.e. water it has different properties as both are in two different states. The property of water to adapt to any given environment physically is not possible for Ice as it is solid and it's molecular structure is packed and is fixed in shape so it would be reasonable enough to say water would in a plain environment occupy more area when compared to Ice.
ps. this by considering that both the ice and water were initially of the same volume

Water weight ice weight?
Water's weight, when frozen into ice stays the same, but the density of water is much higher than ice's, since Ice has the same weight and contents of Water, but takes up significantly more space.
Do hot water take up more space than cold water?
Yes until it turns to ice when it take sup more space than hot water.
Why does an ice cube float in milk?
For the same reason it floats in water and other water-based liquids: the ice is less dense than the liquid. When water freezes, the hydrogen bonds force the oxygen atoms farther apart, and this "lattice form" takes up more space than the liquid molecules. So the ice takes up more space for its mass, is less dense, and will float on the surface of water...or milk. The denser the liquid, the higher the ice cube will sit above the top surface.
Why does an ice cubes volume expand?
Ice expands because more hydrogen bonds are formed as water cools. Heat is given off, more hydrogen bonds are formed, and water molecules tend to stick together. The way water molecules link together is open, so more space is formed as ice forms, causing ice to expand.
What melts ice faster salt or hydrogen peroxide?
Ice melts faster in water than in soda. This is because soda has sodium (salt) in it, and adding sodium makes ice melt more slowly than it will in plain water. In order for ice to melt, the chemical bonds that join water molecules must be broken, and breaking bonds always requires energy. Adding sodium to a solution means that it takes more energy to break bonds than it takes in plain water, which slows melting......Hope this Information Helped;
What takes up more space an ice cube or the water?
ice cube
Which takes up more space - one cup of liquid water or one cup of ice?
Liquid water would typically take up more space because as ice expands, air pockets are generated. Water takes up the entirety of the space of whatever container it is in.
Water weight ice weight?
Water's weight, when frozen into ice stays the same, but the density of water is much higher than ice's, since Ice has the same weight and contents of Water, but takes up significantly more space.
Is an ice cube more dense than liquid water?
Slightly less dense. Put an ice cube in water ; it floats. It Does NOT sink.
Does liquid matter or solid matter take up more space?
When it comes to water, ice takes up more space as compared to water. Does this apply to all states of matter? If so, to what else does it apply to?
Is the intermolecular space in ice more than in water?
No.
Because of this anomalous expansion of water that water pipes sometimes burst during winter?
Anomalous expansion of water and bursting of water pipes during winter is because ice takes more space than water
How was Neptune formed with ice if there is no water in space?
Water as well as other more complex molecules have been found in space.
Do hot water take up more space than cold water?
Yes until it turns to ice when it take sup more space than hot water.
Why glycerol used in cryopreservation?
Glycerol inhibits formation of ice crystals inside cells. Which stops them being cut by sharp crystal edges and burst by ice, since ice is less dense (takes up more space) than the water in the cells.
Why the heat capacity of water more than ice?
Water can hold more heat than ice before it changes states. For example, when you add heat to ice, it changes to water almost immediately. When you add heat to water it takes more to turn it into steam.
What takes longer ice melting or water freezing?
What takes longer to melt ice or freeze water?
