water is hydrogen bond. so it is dif from other liquid. liquid molecule should has more degree of freedom for motion compare to solid. water is bonded by hydrogen bonds.
which are directional oriented. mean the water molecules are bonded with certain direction when freezed. so use microscope to see the crystal structure of snow is so beautiful. not only water, other molecules which bonded by hydrogen bonds also shown same behaviour. because of formation of the crystal patterns, certain space in between the crystal is empty, this cause ice have slightly lower density than water and ice will float if put into water.

When two substances are put in the same container why do they not attract each other?

When two substances are put in the same container, they do not attract each other because different substances have different intermolecular forces. If the intermolecular forces between the two substances are weak, they are more likely to mix and not separate. This is why, for example, oil and water separate in a container due to their different polarities.
