What subsance has a solid form that floats on its liquid form?
All pure substances do. Many substances with mixed compositions do also, although not all (for instance, you'll never see cotton as a liquid... or liquid wood...).
How do water's relative densities as a solid and a liquid differ from that od most other substances?
Ice floats. Most other substances are denser in the solid state.
How do water relative densities as a solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substance?
The solid state of water is less dense than its liquid state, which is why ice floats on water. The solid state of nearly all other substances is more dense than the liquid state and sinks in the liquid state.

How do waters relative densities as solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substance?
The solid state of water is less dense than its liquid state, which is why ice floats on water. The solid state of nearly all other substances is more dense than the liquid state and sinks in the liquid state.
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.
Is it impossible for a solid to float on a liquid?
no ice floats on water
Is matter a solid or liquid?
solid and liquid because gas doesn't take up space it just floats away
Is chocolate cake a liquid or gas or solid?
It's a solid
How do Suspensions relate to mixtures?
Suspensions are mixtures in which the density of the liquid and the solid are such that the solid neither sinks not floats in the liquid but is suspended throughout.
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.
Water is the only substance on earth that?
Water has many unique properties that enabled life to evolve on Earth. The one that is unique is that it expands when it freezes, thus lowering its density. This means that ice floats on water. It is the only compound or element where the solid form floats on the liquid form.
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.
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
Is a solid liquid or gas matter?
solid and liquid because gas doesn't take up space it just floats away
How do water's relative densities an a solid a liquid deffer from that most other substances?
Solid water, ice, is less dense than liquid water and floats on top. The solid state of other substances is more dense than the liquid state and will sink in the liquid.
Does liquid expand when it becomes a solid?
Yes, it does. When water freezes, the liquid expands, thus causing the layer of ice to be thinner. This why ice floats.
