The ice floats on water because
its density is more than water
its density is less than water
it has less intermolecular space
none of the above

Academic Chemistry NCERT Class 9

Correct answer: (b) its density is less than water

Explanation: Ice floats because it is less dense than the water. To be able to float, an object must displace fluid with a weight equal to its own weight.
