The volume of water changes when the water changes state from a liquid to a solid because of the formation of hydrogen bonds within it. The bonds, which are weak, are always present to some degree in the liquid, but as water goes solid, the formation of hydrogen bonds sets up a "molecular arrangement" in the water. The bonds force the water molecules into a solid structure and they push the molecules apart to do that. The extra space the water molecules then take up makes the ice less dense than the water from which it formed. That is why ice is less dense than water, and why it floats on water as we see it does.
Water undergoes a phase transition into a crystalline solid phase called ice. Ice has a lower density than water, thus water's volume tends to increase as it freezes.
This is a very unique property of water; most materials contract instead when cooled.
The volume increase due to water changing into ice during periods of frost is sometimes responsible for water pipes bursting and causes leakages.
It increases because water expands when frozen, this occurs becasue of hydrogen bonding.

That is because the gas particle's are traped in the ice
Its volume increases and its density decreases.
As the water freezes, it will expand.
Water is unique. It expands in volume when heated, and also expands in volume when frozen (hence, burst water pipes (unless insulated) when there is a thaw after freezing winter weather).
No, as long as it is the same peice of ice. The volume and the density change but not the mass
5-10%
it changes because when it freezes, the molecules within the water slows down thus changing the placement of it, which also changes the over size or volume of water.
Its volume increases and its density decreases.
it remain the same as it has definite volume.

Yes.
Increases.
Increases by about 9%. Water is one of the few liquids that expands when it freezes.
The coefficient of the thermal expansion of water is equal to .00021. Water expands by 9% of its volume when it freezes.
