Typically, the solid phase of a substance is denser than its liquid phase, because higher molecular energy makes the liquid molecules take up more volume for a given mass.
An important exception is solid water (ice) which takes on a lattice molecular shape and expands when it freezes, so ice is less dense and floats on liquid water.

Why does a liquid expand to fill the container completely?
Liquids expand because their molecular structure allows them to move. Unlike solids, liquids are not constrained to one shape. That is why they can expand.
