Because the same amount of matter now occupies a larger space, therefore decreasing its density.
It becomes less dense. Ice will float on water
Cold Water. Water expands when it freezes, which makes ice less dense.
Ice. It expands when it's 0 degrees Celsius.
Liquid water is more dense than ICE , and More dense than water vapour(steam). Liquid water is at its most dense at 2 oC. Water on freezing to ice expands by about 10% of its volume. This is because of the lattice arrangement of water molecules in ice., which does not occur in liquid water., Hence ice floats on water. (icebergs).
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)
It becomes less dense. Ice will float on water
As water eats up, it expands. There is still the same amount of water, but now in a larger space so it is less dense than cold water.

Cold Water. Water expands when it freezes, which makes ice less dense.
Water becomes dense when it is more saturated than absorbing a solution. For example, salt with make water more dense because as more salt is added, it becomes saturated.
Ice. It expands when it's 0 degrees Celsius.
less denser than
Yes, the density of water is dependent on its temperature, but the relation is not linear. When cooled from room temperature liquid water becomes increasingly dense, just like other substances. But at approximately 4 °C, water reaches its maximum density. As it is cooled further under ambient conditions, it expands to become less dense.
When you freeze water it expands so it is less dense than liquid water therefore more buoyant so it floats.
In the Mediterranean Sea the cool dense water sinks under less dense water which is called density current.

No. I*f it were, ice would sink in a glass of water. As water freezes, it expands, and becomes less dense.
