No, water is not the least dense liquid. Liquid helium, with a density about one tenth that of water, is an example of a liquid that is less dense.
Solid water, ice, is less dense than its liquid state. This is essential for aquatic life. Since ice is less dense than liquid water, it floats to the top of of the water. This insulates the water beneath the ice, allowing the water beneath the ice to remain liquid. For other substances, the solid state is more dense than the liquid state.
This tendency is called buoyancy. It is a result of the fact that the weight of the displaced fluid is greater than the weight of the object itself, causing it to float.
It will sink in the fluid. It will sink in the fluid.
To verify Archimedes' principle for objects less dense than the liquid, you can observe that the object will float on the surface of the liquid with a portion submerged based on the weight of the displaced liquid being equal to the weight of the object. This displacement causes an upward buoyant force that counteracts the weight of the object, keeping it afloat. This balance demonstrates that the buoyant force experienced by the object equals the weight of the liquid displaced, consistent with Archimedes' principle.
The least dense liquid would be found at the top.

Solid. Because it's more dense.
An example of a liquid moving through a liquid is when oil is poured into water. Since oil is less dense than water, it floats on top and moves through the water without mixing.
No. Liquid water is more dense. This is why ice cubes float on liquid water.
That depends on the specific situation. Assuming the liquids just mix, and don't have some other reaction: * Adding water to a liquid that is denser than water will result in a liquid that is less dense (than the liquid that is not water). * Adding water to a liquid that is less dense than water will result in a liquid that is more dense.
Ice is a solid less dense than the liquid
yes
This depends on how dense the solid is, and how dense the liquid is.
Less dense. For most substances, the solid form is more dense than the liquid form; water is a notable exception.Less dense.

Liquid water is more dense than ICE , and More dense than water vapour(steam). Liquid water is at its most dense at 2 oC. Water on freezing to ice expands by about 10% of its volume. This is because of the lattice arrangement of water molecules in ice., which does not occur in liquid water., Hence ice floats on water. (icebergs).
In liquids, convection works through the movement of fluid particles due to differences in temperature. As a liquid is heated, its particles gain energy and move faster, causing the liquid to expand and become less dense. The warmer, less dense liquid then rises, while the cooler, denser liquid sinks, creating a circulating flow that transfers heat throughout the liquid.
