Why is it unusual when water freezes and it takes up more room?
It isn't unusual.
Why is water considered an unusual molecule?
The molecular bonds cause water to expand when it freezes.
What are some unusual properties of water?
when water freezes, it expands. Most elements contract when frozen.
What are some of the unusual properties of water?
Water is one of the few substances that expands when it freezes. Most things contract as they get colder.
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.
What is unusual about the behavior of water when it freezes?
It actually expands, instead of contracts, for a few degrees below the freezing point.
Does water expand?
When it freezes.
Why does a cold bottle of water freeze when it is hit sharply against a counter?
Water is an unusual liquid in that it expands as it freezes. This can cause it to break a glass container as the water content freezes.
If an iceberg is made of water and its solid and if its in water and its liquid how does the iceberg float?
Water is unusual in that as it freezes it expands, thus water's density is less when a solid than as a liquid, interestingly water is most dense around 4C.
How the unusual properties of water make it possible for life to exisst in the cold freezing temperatures of the arctic poles?
Water is unusual because it expands as it freezes and ice is less dense then water. This allows ice to float on water. This makes life on this planet possible because water freezes from the top of a lake down and not the other way around. This means that water life can survive in the winter. Also, because ice floats and doesn't sink, the land isn't flooded by the displaced water.
Water does this when it freezes?
It floats when it freezes.
What freezes the fastest?
Cold water freezes faster then warm water.
