When you drop an ice cube into a glass of water, you might notice something interesting: the ice cube floats. This might seem counterintuitive since ice is solid and denser than liquid water. However, the reason for this lies in the unique behavior of water molecules.

Water molecules are made up of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom, creating a V-shaped molecule. These molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds, which are relatively weak compared to the covalent bonds within the molecules themselves. When water freezes and forms ice, the molecules arrange themselves in a crystalline structure with each molecule forming hydrogen bonds with four neighboring molecules.

This arrangement causes ice to be less dense than liquid water. When you place an ice cube in water, the buoyant force exerted by the water is greater than the weight of the ice cube, causing it to float. This is because only about 10% of the volume of the ice is submerged in water, while the remaining 90% is above the surface.
