ice has small pores in it which makes it float on water ut it appears to be more denser as its a solid. ice has small pores in it which makes it float on water but it appears to be more denser as its a solid.

Why does ice float on the surface of water-?

Ice floats on water because it has a lower density than water. It flows on water when either it is blown by the wind or it is moved by water currents.


What property of water causes ice to float?

The property of water that causes ice to float is its density. When water freezes into ice, the molecules form a crystal structure that spaces them apart slightly, making ice less dense than liquid water. This lower density causes ice to float on the surface of water.


Ice is heavier than water or not?

Ice is lighter (less dense) than water. Which is why ice can float on the surface of water.


Does ice float or sinks in water explain their reasons?

Ice is expanded water, so is less dense that the water it floats in. Being less dense, and so lighter, the ice will float on water with at least one third (approximately) above the surface


Do ice float in water?

yes, ice does float in water. it will eventually melt and change into water.


Ice float on top of water?

Ice float on water because the density is lower.


Why do ice cubes float to the top of glass of water?

Ice cubes float in water because they are less dense than liquid water. The solid water molecules in ice are spaced farther apart than the molecules in liquid water, causing the ice to be less dense. This difference in density allows the ice cubes to float on the surface of the water rather than sink.


Why does water float in water?

Ice floats because ice is less dense (lighter) that water, especially the denser oceanic waters. Though ice floats, most of the ice cube, ice berg, etc, remains beneath the surface with only a portion showing above the surface.


What happens when ice and patrol are in the same container?

when ice and petrol are in same container ,ice will float on the surface of petrol, because ice is a frozen form of water .As water floats on oil it can not mix in it.


Do ice cubes in water float or sink?

They float, as ice is less dense than water.


How can ice ice cube float?

It depends if the ice cube your talking about have the bigger density than the water which is 1.00G/ML then it will sink .... TO get the density of the cube u have u have to divide the mass over the volume of the cube..


Why does my ice melt in my soda?

Pure water ice cubes always float. They float because the molecules of water rearrange into a crystalline shape when they freeze. That arrangement leaves more empty space between the molecules of water which reduces the density of the water in ice form. Lower density objects float on higher density liquids.
