In its solid form, the molecules in ice are more tightly packed and have a fixed geometric structure, making it harder than liquid water. When water freezes, the molecules form a crystal lattice, which gives ice its rigid and solid properties.
If you freeze a sample of liquid water it should expand but still weigh the same amount. Water is denser than ice so by volume liquid water is heavier than water ice, thus ice floats.
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.
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.

No. Liquid water is more dense. This is why ice cubes float on liquid water.

No, ice water is more dense than liquid water. This is because the molecules in ice water are arranged in a more structured way, leading to a higher density compared to the more random arrangement of molecules in liquid water.
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.
Water is liquid, ice is solid. Water is usually warmer than ice.
Ice cubes are less dense than liquid water, which is why they float.

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.
Ice actually is denser than water. Like anything less denser than water, ice actually does float on water. The density of ice is 920 kg m-3 whereas the maximum density of water is 1000 kg m-3.
