Question

State whether true or false:

Ice is less dense than water (because it has more volume for the same mass), which is why ice floats on water.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Answer is A.
As water is cooled down, however, the molecules have less energy and hydrogen bonding takes over. The molecules form a ordered crystal through hydrogen bonding that spaces the molecules farther apart than when they were in a liquid. This makes ice less dense than water allowing it to float.
Hence, the statement is true.
