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.
The density of water is 1.0, the density of ice is less than 1.0 so it floats. The same principle applies to bubbles underwater.
Yes, density does have an effect on ice. Ice is less dense than liquid water, which is why ice floats on water. This property of ice is important for the survival of aquatic life in cold environments, as it helps insulate the water below the ice.
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
Ice is less dense than water because the molecules in ice are spaced out more, causing it to be less compact. This lower density allows ice to float on top of water, where it displaces an equivalent volume of water.
When ice melts, its density increases. Ice has a lower density than liquid water, which is why it floats. As ice melts, the structured crystalline arrangement of water molecules breaks down, allowing them to pack more closely together in the liquid state. Consequently, the density of water is higher than that of ice, leading to the phenomenon of ice floating on water.

It is true that water expands as it freezes, but the reason it floats on water is because the density of solid water (ice) is less than that of liquid water. And the density of ice is lower because of the expansion (same mass/larger volume).
Ice expands as it warms. At 4 degrees C water achieves it's maximum density. Warm ice is less dense than cold ice. Any amount of liquid water would mean that the ice has gotten as warm as it can get and that it is in equilibrium with the liquid water. The ice, being crystalline, has a discreet melting point so it is either water or it is warm ice. If the ice is wet, it is less dense than ice that is cold enough that the water in contact with it freezes. That doesn't mean that warm ice must be wet ice. If the water is removed, the dry ice will be the same density as the wet ice of the same temperature. Having said that, it is possible that you want to contrast the density of frozen carbon dioxide to water ice. * Water ice has a density of 0.92 g/ml * Dry ice (CO2) has a density range from 1.4 to 1.6 g/ml
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.
Water has a greater density than ice.

A cup of water and a cup of ice would have the same volume and mass because they fill the cup to the same level. However, the cup of ice would have a lower density than the cup of water because ice is less dense than liquid water due to its expanded crystal structure.
The low density of ice is what allows it to float on water. When water freezes into ice, its molecules arrange themselves into a more spaced-out, crystalline structure, making ice less dense than liquid water. This difference in density causes ice to float on water.
When water is frozen, it expands, so ice has a greater volume than water. Also, since density is the volume of an object divided by its mass, and since ice has the same mass as water, the density of ice is slightly less than water, causing it to float on water.
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
Density of ice=0.9167 g/cm cubed Density of water=1.0 g/cm cubed
The density of ice is about 0.92 grams per cubic centimeter, while the density of water is about 1 gram per cubic centimeter. This means that ice is less dense than water, which is why ice floats on water.
