Ice is a solid because its molecules(the thing every thing is made of)are really close together so they get stronger,and is more visibleand it takes enough force to break or push your hand through it that its state would be a solid.

When does water float and why does it float?

Water floats when it is in the solid phase, called ice. Ice floats because the density of ice is less than the density of water.


Why does ice floats on water though it has more density?

its a solid


Is it impossible for a solid to float on a liquid?

no ice floats on water


What is the only solid that floats in its liquid?

The only solid that floats in its liquid is ice. This occurs because the density of ice is lower than the density of liquid water, allowing it to float on the surface.


Why ice floats on the surface of earth?

Because ICE is less dense than water, it is the only solid which floats on its equivalent liquid.


An ice cube floats in your glass of water just as an iceberg floats in the ocean.What conclusion can you draw about the density of solid water?

liquid water is more dense than solid water


How does the density of water in its solid state compare to that of other solid materials?

The density of water in its solid state, which is ice, is lower than that of most other solid materials. This is why ice floats on water.


Why does ice float above and under water?

Ice floats above water, as it has lesser density than that of water. Due to anomalous expansion of water, the ice (solid) has more density than water(liquid). Hence, it floats above water.


What is the only substance that has a greater density as a liquid than a solid?

Water has higher density than ice. That is why ice floats on water.


What does solid water do?

Ice? It ... it is cold. It just sits there. It will melt if you heat it up. It floats on regular water.


Does the volume of water change from solid to liquid form?

The water in ice has a larger volume that water in its liquid form. That is why Ice floats. Ice is less dense than liquid water.


When the water densest as a liquid or solid?

Water is an atypical substance in that its liquid phase is denser than its solid phase. This can be seen as ice floats in a glass of water.
