ice floats on water because its density is greater than water.
- true
- false
Brief Explanations
An object floats in a fluid when its density is less than the fluid's density. Ice floats on water because the density of ice ($\approx 0.917\ \text{g/cm}^3$) is less than the density of liquid water ($\approx 1\ \text{g/cm}^3$). So the statement "Ice floats on water because its density is greater than water" is incorrect.
