Solution

(1)

The density of liquids is generally lower than that of solids due to fact that they occupy a large volume per unit mass. This is because there intermolecular spaces are larger compared to solids.

Now, in case of ice its density is low compared to water due to fact that its volume is increased as the chemical bonds between H2O bonds are forces to be longer after cooling.

.

(2)

The pop hear from a bursting a balloon is due to the tear caused in the balloon material which causes the cracks formed to expand and contract causing the popping sound.
