Why is ice less denser than water and what kind of attractive force must be overcome to melt ice?

Answer» Ice is lesss dense or lighter than water because of its porous or cage like structure on account of the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding in `H_(2)O` molecules. When ice is melted to form water, energy has to be supplied to overcome attractive forces on account of hydrogen bonding.
