Liquids generally have lower density as compared to solids. But you must have observed that ice floats on water. Find out why

Answer: During freezing of water, some space between the particles of water is left vacant with some air trapped between them.
These empty spaces having air in them makes the density of ice; lower than that of water. That’s why ice floats on water.
