Why does ice float on water?

Why does water float? Why is there a bottle water boom when chloride produces clean water? Why do countries export water? How is water recycled and sold using reverse osmosis or o3 treatment technology? Why does water float? Why is water the perfect...

well for my AP biology class i have a question on this take home quiz asking "why does ice float on liquid water" and my textbook says otherwise from the choices the quiz gives me. so please help? :] the choices are A. the liquid water molecules...

Like there's 6 water molecules in the water. When tempure drop, the water froze into ice. There will still have 6 molecules in the ice, the y they will ice float on the water?

a.) The liquid water molecules have more kinetic energy and thus support the ice. b.) The ionic bonds between the molecules in ice prevent the ice from sinking. c.) Ice always has air bubbles that keep it afloat. d.) Hydrogen bonds stabalize and keep...

if ice contains the same formula as water, why does the ice float in the water?

a. Ice is hydrophobic and repels water b. Water molecules are spaced farther apart in ice than in liquid water. c. Water molecules have less mass the colder they get. d. vibrating electrons in liquid water push ice to the surface. e. None of these.

I already know that ice is less dense than water, I am looking for an answer based on the particle theory. Thank you.

ice and water are same same is h2o. but y ice can float on water? help!!
