  2. Kira Kage  Ice floats on water because density of ice is less than water

  3. Kira Kage ships can float, because the water they are floating in pushes upward against them. This pushing force is called upthrust.

  4. Joe Philley - Water is quite unusual in that regard. Most substances are denser in the solid state than liquid.

  5. Kira Kage Joe Philley - when water gets colder it can pack itself tighter together (and therefore weigh more).  Once Ice starts forming the water molecule cannot pack as tightly anymore (based on how they "stick" together to form a solid).  Since they cannot pack as tightly density goes down, and the ice can float.

  6. Water reaches its maximum density at 4°C aka 40°F to us in the States.  As the water continues to cool it becomes less dense.  Then at the freezing point Hydrogen bonding adjusts to hold the negatively charged oxygen atoms apart.  Normally water is strongly joined to each other thanks to covalent bonds.

    Also thanks to this property this is why we get lake "turn over in the spring and fall and why we have thermoclines in our lakes.

  7. But then if the density relates to the weight, isn't water below 4 degrees Celsius indeed lighter? (*Informative this is. Nice.)

  8. Kira Kage - Yes, for equal volumes.
