Sorry it took me so long to respond to this one, but... the reason ice floats

is because it is less dense than water...but the reason that ice is less

dense than water is related to hydrogen bonding... when water freezes to

solid ice, the hydrogen bond become a three dimensional crystal and becasue

of the arrangement of the water molecules the crystal in effect has holes and

these holes create a volume for ice that is geater than that for an equal

mass of liquid water...since its volume is greater than that of water, its

density is less than that of water...

Namaste, Liz
