Why would Ice float on the water when the ice is heaver than the water?

Water have the highest density at 4 degree Celcius.

Because they form a crystal lattice which occupies more volume that the 6 molecules when they were free to assume any configuration they wanted. As a result, the density of ice is less than the density of water and the ice floats. Doug

ice is less dense...........so per unit space,liquid water has more molecles and is hence heavier....

Buoyancy.

.....air trapt in the ice

No ice would not float on water when ice is heavier than water. ( In reality water is heavier than ice ) This i do not understand : 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?

Ice is slightly lighter than water because it expands just before it freezes. .

im not the greatest sciense expert but ill tell ya that density has alot to do with it... i guess cause the density never really changes...its just going from liquid to solid idk really, its just my guess, you would prob get a better answer from some1 else im better at math

Ice cubes are like fishsticks. You gotta have 'em.
