Question
the fact that ice floats on liquid water is due to the fact that water’s solid is ________ than it’s liquid form (options: less polar, more dense, less dense, more polar)
Brief Explanations
Objects float when their density is less than the fluid they're in. Ice floats on water, so ice (water's solid form) must be less dense than liquid water. Polar nature doesn't determine floating; density does. So the correct option is the one with "less dense".
