Question

The density of ice is _______ than the density of water.

Answer 1

• The solid form of water, i.e, ice has a cage-like structure.
• There are spaces present between the bondings in ice.
• Due to these spaces, the volume of ice will be higher than when compared to water.
• As a result, the density of ice decreases as density is inversely proportional to volume.

Thus, the density of ice is less than the density of water.
