ice is boring and water is fun. bla-bla.
Ice is lighter (less dense) than water. Which is why ice can float on the surface of water.
Water is less dense as a solid. To understand this just think a constant volume of water. Freezing water causes the volume to expand and the ice solid floats on the liquid water. Therefore ice is LESS dense than 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.
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.
Ice is less dense than liquid water, which means that ice takes up more space for the same amount of mass compared to liquid water.

Water expands when it freezes. Ice is lighter and denser than liquid water. Ice Floats! Most substances get denser when they turn from liquid to solid.
There are microscopic bubbles of air trapped in the ice - making it lighter than the water.

When water freezes, it expands and becomes less dense, causing it to float. This is because the molecular structure of ice forms a crystalline lattice that takes up more space than liquid water molecules. Therefore, frozen water (ice) is lighter than liquid water, which is why ice floats on water.
Ice is lighter than water. That is why it floats on water.The term "lighter" is confusing here. A pound of water will still freeze into a pound of ice. However, the the pound of ice is less dense than the pound of water, so it floats. This gives the impression that a pound of ice is lighter than a pound of water. Well really, it depends on the quantity of both ice and water. However lets say if you had 1 kilogram of ice and 1 kilogram of water. The ice would weigh more because the particles are pulled together more and they're no longer liquid (physically) and the ice would be bigger and heavier (obviously) .

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.
Ice is lighter than the water it displaces .

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