When water is a liquid, the molecules mix around very closely to one another. Each molecule is attracted to other by forces called hydrogen bonds. These bonds keep the molecules close together but not permanently fixed in one place. As one molecule moves past another it will break old hydrogen bonds and form new ones, with different water molecules. As water cools, the molecules slow down, and can get closer together. At 4 degrees Celsius (about 39 degrees Fahrenheit), water molecules are as closely packed as they can get. When water is cooled below 4 degrees Celsius, the individual molecules start to arrange themselves into a more stable form. At 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) and normal atmospheric pressure, water will form the stable solid we call ice. Ice, like most other pure solids, has a crystalline structure. This means that the atoms are organized in a simple repeating structure, such as a cube or a tetrahedron. The crystalline structure of ice is a repeating arrangement of eight molecules of water. This arrangement is actually less dense than liquid water at 4 degrees Celsius! There are more molecules in the same amount of space in the cold liquid than there is in the solid form. This is a very unique property of water, as most chemicals have solid forms that are denser than their liquid forms. The arrangement of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water results in this and other special chemical properties.
No, it changes from a solid state to a liquid one. It can literally melt in your hand.
solids;there molecules are closer together
The solid that forms from liquid reactants is called a precipitate.
-Solid and a liquid? -A liquid and a gas? -A solid and gas? from roop
It expands
The most significant thing about water is that is expands when it turns from liquid to a solid. Nothing else has been observed to do this.

This liquid is water.
An Amorphous solid
There are three, solid, liquid, and gas. There are three, solid, liquid, and gas. There are three, solid, liquid, and gas.
A liquid.
When a solid forms from a liquid mixture, that is a precipitate, unless the liquid is in the process of freezing, in which case it is a phase change.
they can take different forms, the forms at liquid solid and gas.
Melting is the process when a solid turns into a liquid. Freezing is the process by which a liquid forms into a solid.
All the noble gases have solid forms that are denser than their liquid forms, so no, the liquid form is not denser than the solid form of Xe.
solids;there molecules are closer together
All forms of matter have the three basic forms of solid - liquid - gas. Therefore, every solid can eventually be formed into a liquid by heating it up.
