Solid liquid or gas expand the most when heated?
Ice (frozen water) and Water (below 4 oC) expand when cooling. This is exceptional! Other substances, also Water (above 4 oC) expand when heated.
What will a cubic foot of water expand to when turning to ice?
Water has about a 4% rate of expansion when frozen. Therefore, one cubic foot of water would increase to about 1.04 cubic feet when frozen.
Why do cracks in a rock get bigger if water freezes in them?
Frozen water molecules are larger and expand. In liquid form H2O is smaller
Does the human body expand or contract and why?
I think we can.As our human body which is a solid gains heat , they expand and contract when they lose heat.And solids do expand and contract.
Does water continue to expand as it cools after forming ice?
Water expands when it first freezes, but after that ice will contract as it continues to cool.

What happens to frozen water that is different from most frozen liquids?
Frozen water expands, while other frozen liquids contract.
Why is frozen water less dense?
The water molecules expand when the temp. drops.
Does oil expand when frozen?
by 'the law of non-compress ability of liquid' a liquid can neither be compressed nor be expanded. Between 3'C and 0'C water does expand with a decrease in temperature. Water at 3'C is the densest; water at 0'C is the lightest. This is the only interval for Ice I on which it expands with decreasing temperature.
Can you thaw frozen celery?
Yes, but the texture will be affected by water crystals that expand when frozen.
