Ice floats on water.  True

For most other substances however, the solid sinks in the liquid. True

Explanation:

The amount of matter in a certain volume is known as density. Density also determines how close together molecules are in a substance. In general, molecules that form solids are close together, which means that they are more dense than liquids, and this causes them to sink.

Water is a little different. When water becomes a solid, it is called ice. And the molecules of ice are organized in a way that makes them less dense than water. This means that ice floats on water.
