liquid generally have lower density as compared to solid.But you must have observed that ice floating on water.
The reason why ice floats on water is due to the anomalous behavior of water. Water, when cooled beyond 4oc, expands instead of contracting like other normal liquids. Due to this, the density of ice is less than that of water and it is able to float on water.
