Why does ice float on liquid water

Biology

 A single water particle (a molecule) is made up of two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom. The oxygen will attract the negative charges in the hydrogen towards it. This will cause the oxygen atom to be negatively charged and the hydrogen atoms to become positively charged. When a liquid freezes, liquid particles move closer together and form strong bonds with one another. There are now more particles in the same area, the solid is denser than the liquid. When water freezes the negative charges on the oxygen push the particles apart. This means that the water becomes less dense with freezing.

Ice can float on liquid water because the ice is less dense so it has an ability to rise to the top of the glass of water.

madam [21]

Answer:

The question "What color is a great horned owl?" does not require the scientific method to be used for getting an answer hence, it is not a scientific question. This question does not require any hypothesis or any other method. It can easily be answered by just looking at the horned owl.

A scientific question has to be a question from which a hypothesis can be made. The hypothesis can be tested through experiments and observations. Results and conclusions from the experiments would result in answering that question.
