Solid water, ice, is less dense than its liquid state. This is essential for aquatic life. Since ice is less dense than liquid water, it floats to the top of of the water. This insulates the water beneath the ice, allowing the water beneath the ice to remain liquid. For other substances, the solid state is more dense than the liquid state.
What else can I help you with?
Is water the least dense than all the liquids?
No. Several liquids, including gasoline, oil and alcohol, are less dense.
Is a ice cube a liquid solid gas?
solid with hydrogen bonds making it less dense than its liquid form
The density of a liquid form of a material is always less than the density of the solid form of that same material?
Not always - the density of a liquid may be greater or less than that of the solid form depending on the molecular structure and arrangement. For example, water is an exception as its solid form (ice) is less dense than its liquid form.
What is it called when a solid is less dense than its liquid?
This is called anomalous expansion or the anomaly of water. It means that when water freezes, its solid form (ice) is less dense than its liquid form, which is why ice cubes float in water.
Are most materials more or less dense in their solid state than in liquid?
Most materials are denser in their solid state than in their liquid state. This is because in the solid state, molecules are packed closely together in a fixed arrangement, while in the liquid state, they are more spread out and can move more freely.
Which cold solid is less dense than the liquid when it melts?
Ice is a solid less dense than the liquid
Is ice cube a solid gas or liquid?
solid with hydrogen bonds making it less dense than its liquid form
What type of solid is less dense than its liquid form?
Water is a clear example of a type of solid (ice) that is less dense than its liquid form. This is due to the unique arrangement of water molecules in its solid state, which causes them to take up more space compared to its liquid state.

Is an ice cube more dense or less dense than liquid water?
Less dense. For most substances, the solid form is more dense than the liquid form; water is a notable exception.Less dense.

Can a solid be less dense than a liquid?
Yes, there are many. For example, anything that floats on water is less dense than liquid water. A number of solids are less dense than liquids. The most common example is ice. Ice (frozen water) is less dense than its liquid counterpart for some very specific reasons. Many other solids are less dense than liquids, as well. Using water as the liquid, you'll find that cork, wood (most kinds) and styrofoam will all float on it. As the liquid becomes more dense, the range of items that will float on it increases. Mercury, for example, is a liquid metal at room temperature. Because it is so dense, many things will float on it. Lead is one example of something that will float on liquid mercury.

Is water more dense as a solid then a liquid?
No, less dense. That's why ice cubes and bergs float.
What happens when you put a less dense soild and a more dense liquid together?
solid will be settling at the bottom because liquid can not be denser than solid due to their arrangements of their molecules.
