The density gets larger due to the formation of a crystalline structure

The density get smaller due to the formation of a crystalline structure
|
|
|
The liquid water’s force pushes the ice to the top
|
|
|
The covalents bonds are in random order causing the density to lower
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ice always floats because it is less dense than regular water. Because frozen water molecules form a crystal, they take up more space and have a lower density than regular liquid water.
Detailed explanation-2: -What’s so special about ice that causes it to float? Believe it or not, ice is actually about 9% less dense than water. Since the water is heavier, it displaces the lighter ice, causing the ice to float to the top.
