Question

why does ice float when it is placed in liquid water? because the ice has a greater weight than water because the density of ice and water are the same because the density of ice is less than water because ice is much denser than water

Explanation:

Objects float when their density is less than the density of the liquid they are placed in. Ice has an open - lattice structure which makes its density lower than that of liquid water.

Answer:

because the density of ice is less than water
