Water is more dense because the hydrogen within the water molecule will interact with the oxygen in a different water molecule to form a "hydrogen-bond". These will occur between all the water molecules and hold them together through these bonds, making it denser. In ice the water molecules cannot move so the hydrogen bonding cannot occur to hold molecules tightly. The structure actually becomes more spaced and open, and thus less dense.
What else can I help you with?
When ice melts its density?
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.
Is higher density the liquid state than in the solid state physical property of water?
Yes, the higher density of water in its liquid state compared to its solid state is a physical property known as anomalous expansion. Water reaches its highest density at 4 degrees Celsius in its liquid state, which is why ice floats on water.
Do ice and water have the same density?
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.
How does the density of ice compare to the density of water?
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
Does density have an effect on ice?
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.
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.
Why do you think ice has a higher density than water vapour?
Because ice is solid and has a heavier weight that cause it to have higher density and as for water vapour, it is gaseous and has lower density due to not having any weight.
When ice melts its density?

Consequently, the density of water is higher than that of ice, leading to the phenomenon of ice floating on water.
Which has higher denesity ice or water?
Ice has a LOWER density than water as ice FLOATS in water!!!!!!! Upon freezing water to form ice, expansion occurs thus more volume and surface area but the same weight.
Is higher density the liquid state than in the solid state physical property of water?
Yes, the higher density of water in its liquid state compared to its solid state is a physical property known as anomalous expansion. Water reaches its highest density at 4 degrees Celsius in its liquid state, which is why ice floats on water.
Which has greater density ice or water how can you say that?
Water has a greater density than ice.

How does the density of water (ice) compare with the density of water (liquid)?
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
How is water density affected by freezing?
The density of ice is lower than the density of water.
What is an example of a density?
ice floating on top of water because water has more density than ice.
