Question

Liquid water is denser than solid ice - True or False?

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Usually solids tend to have more density than their corresponding molten forms. Water is an exception - as it crystallizes by trapping air between the molecules as compared to the liquid forms. Density of water, under standard conditions tends to reach a maximum value at $4^{\circ }C$ (still liquid)
