The volume of a 100 milliliters of liquid water would be less if it were frozen. Water as ice (i.e. solid), is less dense than water as a liquid. The water would have the same mass whether solid or liquid, but its molecules occupy more space as a solid than they do as a liquid. This is a very unusual natural phenomenon, which is good for us or any frozen bodies of water would have all the life in it crushed by sinking ice!

No, as a metal is heated and becomes molten, its volume expands.

For a given amount of water molecules, ice would have a greater volume than water, as the crystal lattice in ice leads to greater distance between each molecule.
