Expert Answer
The density of ice is greater than that of water. In ice, the molecules are arranged in a manner that it has an open structure something like a cage. Due to this unusual arrangement, ice floats on water. Similarly, the density of needle is more than that of water. A needle sinks in water due to closely packed arrangement of molecules.
