ice cube
When it comes to water, ice takes up more space as compared to water. Does this apply to all states of matter? If so, to what else does it apply to?
why does steam take up more space than liquid water
i need the question anything that has mass and takes up space is?anything that has mass and takes up space is?anything that has mass and takes up space is?What is the name for anything that takes up space, has mass, and resists change?Definition of matter.
Because objects that sink have greater density, which takes up less space, which, assuming you are using the water displacement method, would take out less water.
Water expands slightly when if freezes (due to hydrogen bonding) and the resulting ice is less dense than water.(Actually, the water still weighs the same- it just takes up more space when frozen)
Slightly less dense. Put an ice cube in water ; it floats. It Does NOT sink.
more space
why does steam take up more space than liquid water
The Water
Sort of, as steam water spreads around more so you could say that water takes up more space as steam.
Liquid water would typically take up more space because as ice expands, air pockets are generated. Water takes up the entirety of the space of whatever container it is in.
A snow cube. Water has an interesting property in that it takes a lot of energy to increase its temperature. This is due to the strong attraction between water particles (hydrogen bonding). The water particles in a solid ice cube are all strongly attracted together and are more densely packed than those in a snow cube. The snow cube has more spaces in it for air which means more of the surface area of the snow cube will be in direct contact with the air and therefore it will melt faster.
For the same reason it floats in water and other water-based liquids: the ice is less dense than the liquid. When water freezes, the hydrogen bonds force the oxygen atoms farther apart, and this "lattice form" takes up more space than the liquid molecules. So the ice takes up more space for its mass, is less dense, and will float on the surface of water...or milk. The denser the liquid, the higher the ice cube will sit above the top surface.
It takes up more space when it freezes
Liquid is much more tangible than ice if that's what your asking....
Sand sinks in water, so it is more dense. Density = mass/volume. Or Volume = Mass/Density. For the same mass, more dense substance will take up less volume. So the water takes up more space.
particles expand hence takes up more space(flattening)
