  • Ice vs. Water Density: Why Ice Floats & What Causes It
    No, the density of ice is less than the density of water. This is why ice floats!

    Here's why:

    * Water molecules in liquid form: In liquid water, the molecules are close together and can move around freely.

    * Water molecules in solid form (ice): When water freezes, the molecules form a crystalline structure with more space between them. This structure is less dense than liquid water.
