ICE IS LESS DENSE THAN WATER.WHY???
Some of people keep asking, how can ice float on water even before it becomes ice, it is also in liquid state. Let me answer your question.
😁When cooled to solid(ice), water molecules arrange themselves and form tetrahedral arrangement to maximise the amount of hydrogen bonding between them.What is tetrahedral arrangement??
This is tetrahedral arrangement.One molecule of water,H20 can bind with another water molecules in tetrahedral shape.
😁This arrangement leaves a large amount of spaces between molecules and give rise to an 'open structure'.
😁The large amount of spaces tell us that ice has larger volume than water.
😁The greater the volume, the lower the density.
😁Thus, ice float in water.
