Why ice bergs are less denser than water?

The study of matter ‐ whatever the state ‐ is exciting. It is not all about fundamental or great changes at a particle or molecular level. Consider, floating of ice shelf on water, for instance. Why do you think it happens? Well, it is because of the structure and angle between the hydrogen and water molecules (to know in detail read upon the theme in inside pages) that allows for the ice to occupy larger volume of water than same amount of liquid water ‐ making ice less dense and able to stay afloat on water.
