Answer:

Heavier

Step-by-step explanation:

If solids are denser than liquids, why does ice float on water? Because water is a special case. The molecules in water are affected by a phenomenon known as hydrogen bonding. A water molecule is a V-shaped molecule made up of one oxygen atom in the centre with a hydrogen atom on each side.
