What substance weighs more in its liquid form than its solid form?

None. Freezing will not change the mass of a substance. However, it might change the density of a substance, thus making something heavier or lighter for the same volume.
Water has a lower density when frozen (ice) than when it is liquid. Therefore the same volume of ice will weigh less than the same volume of liquid water.
Again, if you have a certain amount of anything and freeze it, the mass WILL NOT change!

∙ 14y agoThere are many substances which are more dense as a liquid than a solid.
- In addition to water, for which the solid form (ice) is less dense than the liquid form, the element Gallium is also less dense in the liquid state. Gallium can be solid at room temperature but will melt in the hand.
confirmed as solid less dense than liquid:
- gallium - 5.91 (solid) vs 6.095 (liquid)
- bismuth - 9.78 (solid) vs 10.05 (liquid)
- germanium - 5.323 (solid) vs 5.60 (liquid)
- silicon - 2.3290 (solid) vs 2.57 (liquid)
- water - 0.917 (solid) vs 0.998 (liquid)
claimed but probably false:
- acetic acid - 1.266 (solid) vs 1.049 (liquid)
- antimony - 6.697 (solid) vs 6.53 (liquid) (this "error" is repeated in many places, inc wikipedia)
Water is not always less dense in solid form. Depending on how the water crystals are formed, it may actually be more dense. Examples include HDA and VHDA.

When liquid becomes a solid it had to?
When liquid becomes a solid it has to loose temperature. Because when a substance transforms into solid from liquid the atoms of that substance has to come closer to form the solid form.
Which is the only planet where the same substance can exist in gaseous and liquid and solid form?
earth is the only planet where the same substance can exist in gaseous , liquid , and solid form
Why is melting and freezing point of a substance same?
"Melting" and "freezing" are transition actions, going from solid-to-liquid form and liquid-to-solid form respectively. The point is the same transition temperature of that particular substance. The same goes for the transition temperature of the "boiling point" and "condensation point" of a substance.
What is it called when water turns straight form solid to gas?
Sublimation is a change of a substance from solid to gas without becoming liquid.
Why is jelly solid?
Jelly is not a solid or a liquid. It is an amorphus substance, like glass. It shares some properties of each.
When liquid becomes a solid it had to?
When liquid becomes a solid it has to loose temperature. Because when a substance transforms into solid from liquid the atoms of that substance has to come closer to form the solid form.
Can freezing form a new substance?
No, freezing is a change in STATE of a substance (from liquid to solid), the solid is NOT a new substance.
Which is the only planet where the same substance can exist in gaseous and liquid and solid form?
earth is the only planet where the same substance can exist in gaseous , liquid , and solid form
What solid substance will float easily in its liquid form?
Wax.
Pysical form in which a substance can exist?
In a state (solid, liquid, gas)
What is Freezing from liqiud to solid called?
Solidification is the process of freezing of the substance from liquid form into the solid form as the heat goes out of the substance ie as the temperature decreases.
What is a chemical substance?
A chemical substance is some form of liquid or solid (or gas!) made out of chemicals or elements.
What is a physical form that a substance can exist?
Solid, liquid, gas, or plasma. A substance can occur in any one these states. All matter occurs in one of these 4 states. These are the 4 states of matter.
Why is melting and freezing point of a substance same?
"Melting" and "freezing" are transition actions, going from solid-to-liquid form and liquid-to-solid form respectively. The point is the same transition temperature of that particular substance. The same goes for the transition temperature of the "boiling point" and "condensation point" of a substance.
What physical form can a substance exist?
There are five main physical forms of substance or states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, plasma, and Bose-Einstein condensate. The most common ones on earth are solid, liquid and gas.
What does a flat line on a gas liquid solid graph means what?
The flat line means there is a phase change....for example from a solid to liquid, the substance is melting....from liquid to gas the liquid is being heated to form the gas.
What is it called when water turns straight form solid to gas?
Sublimation is a change of a substance from solid to gas without becoming liquid.
