Water is the only liquid known to expand in volume when passing from the liquid state into the solid state called ice. That's why any glass container filled with water or water juice would break if put in a freezer. So do the ice in both poles of the Earth, taking more volume to oceans than the original water volume before freezing. But remember Archimedes law.
add. Silicon, Gallium and Bismuth also share this anomalous expansion as does water!.
A.The normal pattern for most compounds is that as the temperature of the liquid increases, the density decreases as the molecules spread out from each other. As the temperature decreases, the density increases as the molecules become more closely packed. This pattern does not hold true for iceIn liquid water each molecule is hydrogen bonded to approximately 3.4 other water molecules. In ice each each molecule is hydrogen bonded to 4 other molecules.This translates to a more open or expanded structure. The ice structure takes up more volume than the liquid water molecules, hence ice is less dense than liquid water.

∙ 13y agobc water has a greater surface area which makes the mass larger

The density of ice is lower than the density of liquid water.

Why does liquid water take its shape of the container but an ice cube does not?
Liquid is much more tangible than ice if that's what your asking....
How are mass and energy conserved when water evaporates?
As the more energetic form of water -- water vapor -- is formed, the liquid water chills. Thus conservation of energy is preserved. Mass of course remains the same.
What are the characteristics of liquid?
the answer to that question is..................... oh yea! it has a fixed mass and volume BUT NO SET SHAPE
Why does the density of a solid change if you melt it?
The particles spread out and move around more freely due to the extra heat energy and thus the density decreases.
Why is oil a more suitable liquid for keeping the mass of gas constant?
Lower vapor pressure.
What has more mass an aluminum cube or plastic cube?
It depends on the size of the cube.
When a sample of water changes from solid to liquid how much does the mass change?
It doesn't. You don't have any more water than what you started with' you could take the water and pour it back in the form to refreeze into a cube. This assumes no evaporation.
Does a large cube have more mass than a small cube?
Yes
What has more vapour a liquid or a cloth liquid soaked.?
This depends on the mass of the liquid.
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.

Is a ice cube more or less dense than liquid water?
Ice cubes are less dense than liquid water, which is why they float.

Mass of water when volume is 769.3meter cube?
At normal temperature and pressure, it is 767921 kg, approx.The "equivalence" between the volume and mass was scrapped in the 1960s. Besides, the density of water varies by more than 4% over the range of temperatures where it is liquid at normal pressure.
Does solids have more mass than liquids and gases?
No. Changes of state are physical changes in science. According to the law of conservation of mass, mass is neither created nor destroyed during physical or chemical changes (because atoms are not lost or gained.) Therefore, the solid form of one substance does not have more mass than the same substance in liquid or gas form.
Why does an ice cube float in milk?
For the same reason it floats in water and other water-based liquids: the ice is less dense than the liquid. When water freezes, the hydrogen bonds force the oxygen atoms farther apart, and this "lattice form" takes up more space than the liquid molecules. So the ice takes up more space for its mass, is less dense, and will float on the surface of water...or milk. The denser the liquid, the higher the ice cube will sit above the top surface.
