Yes. When frozen, water expands becoming less dense.
(That's why ice floats in water ... even in ice-cold water.)

What properties change when water freezes to ice?
Its volume increases and its density decreases.
Is the density of 1 liter of olive oil the same as the density of 4 liters of olive oil?
Yes. The density of a certain substance does not change according to the amount of that substance.
Is the density of a substance a physical property of the substance?
Density is classified as a physical property because the density of a substance can change when the substance changes state. Example: When water evaporates it is a physical change and the density changes. A chemical property is a property that describes its ability to react chemically with other substances and THEREFORE density is not a chemical property.YES.
What happens to the mass when water freezes?
No, as long as it is the same peice of ice. The volume and the density change but not the mass
Does the density of a substance change depending on how much of it you have?
No. Density is an INTRINSIC property, and as such it does NOT depend on the size of the sample.
Why does the density of a substance not change no matter how much of the substance you have?
Because density is a "ratio".
How can you change density of a substance?
You can change the density of a substance by changing its volume. Density is equivalent to mass over volume. So changing the volume affects density.
Does density change when the size of an object changes?
No. A drop of water and a tankerful of it have the same density. But these are two different masses of the same material. If you have, say a piece of metal and heat it up so that it expands, and there is still the same amount of substance, then the density decreases as the substance expands. Water expands as it freezes; that is why ice floats in water.
What is the change in state when a substance freezes?
Type your answer here..the shape and volume
What happens to the density of a given substance if you increase the amount of substance that you have?
No change: Density is a property of the substance (physical property), which is not changed by the amount of substance.
What properties change when water freezes to ice?
Its volume increases and its density decreases.
How does the volume and density of a substance change when it is heated?
The volume of a substance increases when heated, causing a decrease in density.
If Using density how dowe determine if a substance is pure or not?
If a substance is not pure, the density may, or may not, change, compared to the pure substance.
Process that does not change the identity of a substance?
density
Why is freezing a physical property?
Freezing is a physical change because the substance that freezes does not change its chemical composition.
Does volume change when substance changes states?
Yes. Usually when a substance freezes, or becomes a solid, it will decrease in volume, causing an increase in density. Water is an exception, which is less dense when it freezes/becomes solid.
The density of a substance undergoes the greatest change when the substance changes from a?
from a solid to gas
