Almost no liquids do that. Almost all become more dense when they freeze.
Water is a startling exception. Water is one of the only known substances
whose solid form floats in its liquid form.
When water freezes, it forms crystals which occupy more space than its molecules
would if they were packed together. That's because of the special shape of the
water molecule, and the hydrogen bonds that it forms with other water molecules.
The shape tends to form an open crystalline structure as the temperature drops
below 4 degrees Celsius. By the time it freezes, it's about 9% less dense than water.
What else can I help you with?
Does liquid expand when it becomes a solid?
Yes, it does. When water freezes, the liquid expands, thus causing the layer of ice to be thinner. This why ice floats.
What type of bonds cause water to expand when it freezes?
Hydrogen bonds cause water to expand when it freezes. As water cools and freezes, the hydrogen bonds between water molecules form a crystalline structure with a more open arrangement than in its liquid state, causing it to expand and become less dense.
Does water expand?
When it freezes.
How a liquid changes to a solid to a liquid to a gas to a liquid?
Liquid freezes into a solid, melts in to a liquid, then evaporate into gas and then freezes back to a liquid.
When water freezes it expands?
Yes, it will expand.
What is thermal expasion?
Its when a liquid freezes and expands or contracts. Ex. Water when it freezes has more mass than the liquid
What thermal expasion?

At what temperature does water expand?
when it is in the form of ice. When water freezes it expands. If a rock has a crack in it and water goes in the crack and freezes, it will expand and melt over and over. eventually it can split the rock.
Does silicon expand when frozen?
Silicone is an orthoputic material that expands after being contained in a certain area for a certain period of time. That is why individuals who undergo cosmetic surgery often have to remove or change them because silicone will continue to expand (and while in the body) will explode.
As the liquid freezes the bottle cracks The liquid could be?
water.
What happen to a liquid when it release enough energy?
the liquid freezes.
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.
