No because water doesn't expand when heated and when it is cooled it contracts then forms ice crystals which cause it to give the appearance that it has expanded
Water is unusual because it expands when it goes from the liquid to solid state
Yes. Ice is less dense than liquid water. For virtually all other substances, the solid state is more dense than the liquid state.
Ice floats. Most other substances are denser in the solid state.
The crystal structure of water starts to expand after it gets down to about 4°C. This means that when the water freezes at 0°C it is less dense than it is in liquid state. Since the ice is less dense (lighter) than the surrounding water, it floats.
The density of ice changes with the density of water after 0 0C
More dense. As a solid is formed the particles vibrate less and group closer together. One of the only exceptions to this is water. When water freezes and becomes a solid it becomes less dense which is why ice will float in your drink.

The volume of a beaker doesn't change, it's a beaker. What your were probably trying to ask is what happens to the volume of the ice when it melts. The volume decreases; water is special. Unlike other substances when it freezes it expands. That is why ice floats, it is less dense then water.
Surprisingly, no. Unlike virtually all other known substances, the solid form of water is less dense than the liquid form at roughly the same temperature. That's why a full water bottle splits when it freezes, and that's why the ice floats at the top of your drink.
Almost no liquids do that. Almost all become more dense when they freeze. Water is a startling exception. Water is one of the only known substances whose solid form floats in its liquid form. When water freezes, it forms crystals which occupy more space than its molecules would if they were packed together. That's because of the special shape of the water molecule, and the hydrogen bonds that it forms with other water molecules. The shape tends to form an open crystalline structure as the temperature drops below 4 degrees Celsius. By the time it freezes, it's about 9% less dense than water.
It becomes less dense. Ice will float on water
Ice floats. Most other substances are denser in the solid state.
water because its less dense
more dense substances sink, less dense substances float. oil will not sink in water, it will float, it is less dense.
