One of the characteristics of a liquid is that unlike a solid it takes the shape of its container, but unlike a gas it doesn't try to fill the entire container. So after water freezes it has (close to) the shape it had when it was a liquid, the shape of its container. Actually water's a bad example because unlike most substances water expands as it freezes due to crystallization, so it often affects the shape of its container.
What else can I help you with?
Does food coloring affect how fast water freezes?
well when i observed i just did this as a science project i observed that the food coloring does affect the way water freezes i observed the food coloring freezes faster than the sink water. so the answer is yes it does affect the way water freezes.
How Snow and sleet are different?
If the water vapor freezes , it falls as snow.If the rain freezes on the way down it falls as sleet.
What is the temperature at which water freezes in Celsius?
0 degrees. The boiling point is 100C by the way.
Why does water expand by 10 percent when it freezes?
Its very unusual for a substance to expand when it freezes, water is just odd that way. Its just a property of water, its moleucles expand in the area they take up and take up more space.
Does the temperature of water affect the way it freezes?
Yes, it will not freeze until it gets below 32 degree F.
Why does ice spew upward in an ice tray?
When water freezes it expands and the only way it has to go in an ice tray is up.
Why are ice cubes cloudier in the middle?
Water never freezes the same way. It is always random. So those are just bubbles.
When rain falls from clouds and it freezes along the way it is called?
When rain falls from clouds and freezes along the way, it is called "sleet."
Why is there a weight difference when water freezes and melts?
Water doesn't gain or lose mass when it freezes. Ice is less dense than water, this is why it floats. It may seem heavier, but there is no way that water can gain mass from just losing energy. Water does evaporate though even at very low temperatures, so if there is an apparent weight loss it is because of evaporation.
Does salt water effect the way plants grow?
yes
Why is it beneficial for fish that water expands when it freezes?
When water freezes, it becomes less dense and expands. This creates a layer of insulating ice on top of bodies of water, which helps to protect fish and other aquatic organisms from extreme cold temperatures. If water did not expand when it freezes, ice would sink, potentially making bodies of water freeze from the bottom up and causing harm to aquatic life.
What is the most dense form of water?
Ice is the most dense form of water. When water freezes into ice, its molecules arrange in a way that makes ice denser than liquid water, which is why ice floats on water.
