Water shrinks when it expands.
Water DOES NOT shrink it expands. It shrinks like it is supposed to at first. When it hits 4 degrees Celsius (39 degrees F.), it expands greatly.
Hope this helps!

What is it when a solid turns to liquid?
melting. absorbing of heat of fusion.
When water goes from solid to liquid the distances between the three atoms within a molecule?
shrink
Why water always is in liquid state?
H2O is in either solid, liquid or vapour commonly known as Ice, water and steam, water is always water if it is neither frozen nor evaporated
If 30.86g of H2O is frozen (from liquid to solid) how much heat energy is required?
No heat (energy) is required to freeze water (from liquid to solid). Freezing RELEASES energy (heat), as it is an exothermic event. If you want to know how much energy is release, you need to know the heat of fusion for water, and then multiply that by the mass of water being frozen.
Does the identity of matter change during a physical change?
No. For example, water is H2O whether it is solid, liquid, or gas.
What is liquid solid or gas?
Liquid = water, solid = frozen water, gas = water vapour.
How do you know when solid and a liquid form a liquid?
When the solid was frozen. e.g Water + ice = water.
What is the process of water to solid?
from liquid water to frozen water
Can a fluid b a liquid amd solid?
water can be a liquid and also a solid when frozen
Is a icicles liquid or solid or gas?
Icicles are frozen water. It's a solid.
Is icicles a solid liquid gas?
Icicles are frozen water. It's a solid.
What is the examples of liquid become solid?
Liquid water placed in a freezer will become solid ice.
What is it when a solid turns to liquid?
melting. absorbing of heat of fusion.
Is an ice cube a liquid gas or a solid?
An ice cube is frozen water, which is a solid.
How are the solid liquid and gaseous states of matter identified?
Ice is a solid of frozen water.Melted ice is liquid water.Evaporated water is a gas (water vapour).
How solid liquid and gaseous states of matter are identified?
Ice is a solid of frozen water.Melted ice is liquid water.Evaporated water is a gas (water vapour).
Why does ice shrink when it freezes?
Water actually becomes less dense, or expands, when frozen. When liquid water reaches it's freezing point, the water molecules rearrange themselves into a lattice structure. Due to the nature of the water molecules, they arrange themselves in such a way as to make it less dense than it was in it's liquid form, which is why ice floats on top of liquid water.
