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.
