Liquids generally have lower density as compare to solids. But you must have observed that ice floats on water. Find out why.? |

Answer» s per unit volume of a substance is called density ( density = mass/volume ). as the volume of a substance INCREASE ,its density decrease .though ice is a solid , it has large number of EMPTY space between its PARTICLES . these spaces are large as compared to the space PRESENT between the particles of water .Thus , the volume of ice is greater than that of water .Hence ,the density of ice is less than that of water . A substance with lower density with lower density than water can FLOAT on water . Therefore ice float on water . |
