As the temperature of the water falls, the individual molecules of water have less energy. Enetualy they reach a point at which the energy they have is sufficiently low that hydrogen bonds form between water molecules. This forms a crystalline structure which can be seen here:
As these bonds form, the crystalline structure of ice actually takes up more space than liquid water does - this is why water expands when it freezes and also why ice floats in water as it is less dense.

∙ 15y agoWell, ice is frozen water and water is just water and I don't know how it's formed! Ice is formed by freezing though! It basically is just REALLY cold water.

What is causing the change in dry ice and the water ice?
Temperature causes changes in dry and water ice
Why does a ice cube melt in a glass of water?
Because water is warmer than 32 degrees and ice is colder. Setting the glass at room temperature causes the ice to melt.
What does liquids become when they freeze?
Liquids become solids upon freezing. Most solids contract when they freeze. The expansion of water when it becomes ice is an unusual property.
What causes ice to change into water vapor?
Direct transformation of a solid to a gas is called sublimation.
What is the importance of wiping the ice before introducing it to the water in the calorimeter?
The specific heat of water is different from the specific heat of ice and so 'wet ice' into a calorimeter experiment can increase the mass of water in the calorimeter and become a source of unaccuracy.
Wind water and ice are causes of?
Wind, ice, and water are the causes of erosion
What causes liquid water to become solid ice?
When its somewhere cold that below 30oF degress
What happen as water changes into ice?
In ice, each molecule of water is hydrogen bonded to four other water molecules, forming a hexagonal crystal lattice. This structure causes the ice to increase in volume and become less dense when it freezes.
How does ice to water to water vapor?
Heat causes the ice to melt into water and the water evaporates into vapor.
What is causing the change in dry ice and the water ice?
Temperature causes changes in dry and water ice
What causes ice erosion?
water
What causes and how it causes erosion?
wind water gravity and ice
What happens when water change to ice?
Evaporation, it is called sublimation.
What unusual fact about ice causes it to float in water?
Ice has a lower density than water.
Why does ice still melt in water?
Fire is pure energy being released. And it takes energy to move molecules around. Where ice is concerned, the water molecule has been sapped of all energy which causes it to remain in place and stick to other water molecules.. When the energy from fire comes in contact with the water molecule, the molecule absorbs the energy which causes the molecules to break away from each other and move. When the molecules break away and move is what causes a solid like ice to become a liquid.
Why do some things become ice when put into the freezer?
Water is frozen to become ice.
How does ice become water?
It melts
