No. Below 4oC, water will start to become less dense as it freezes. This is due to hydrogen bonds. For more information, see the related question below.

Very close. Water is at its maximum density at 4ºC, then becomes less dense as it cools further and freezes. Hence why ice floats, and why the consequent expansion can burst water-pipes.
This property is vital in Nature because it stops lakes etc from freezing to the bottom. Therefore the fish can survive even under thick ice: they simply lie torpid in the deeper, denser, "warmer" water below.

Is liquid water more dense than ice water?
yes liquid water is more dense than ice water
Is Liquid water less dense or more dense?
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).
Is an ice cube more dense or less dense than liquid water?
Less dense. For most substances, the solid form is more dense than the liquid form; water is a notable exception.Less dense.

What solid is an exception to the rule that solids are more dense than liquids?
The best example is ice, which is the solid form of the liquid we call water. Water's solid form (ice) floats on its liquid form, as we know.
One liter of water weighs more than 1 liter of ice?
One liter of water weighs more than 1 liter of ice. This is because water expands when it is frozen, thus the liquid water will have more water compared to the ice.
Does ice float because water becomes more or less dense when its frozen?
The structure of frozen water (ice) is less dense than the random arrangement of the water molecules in liquid water, thus ice floats because water becomes less dense when it is frozen. Because of buoyancy forces, an object placed in a liquid will float if it is less dense than the liquid and sink if it is more dense.
Ice floats in water does frozen HNO3 float in liquid HNO3?
Besides water, a substance in solid form is more dense. At the least dense substance floats, HN03 will not float in liquid HN03. ;)
Is liquid water more dense than ice water?
yes liquid water is more dense than ice water
Is frozen water more dense?
no it isnt
How water might have two different densities?
Basicly, liquid water is more dense then frozen water. That's why ice floats on water!

When a liquid is frozen will there be more of it or less?
Freezing does not change the mass of a liquid. Its density may change, however. Most solids are denser than their liquid phase. Frozen water, i.e. ice, is less dense, and so floats.
Is liquid water less dense than ice cubes?
No. Liquid water is more dense. This is why ice cubes float on liquid water.
Is a ice cube more or less dense than liquid water?
Ice cubes are less dense than liquid water, which is why they float.
What is more dense water vapor liquid water or ice?
Ice water is more dense than warm water.
Is the density of any frozen oil less than that of liquid oil?
No. It is more dense.
