When temperature is increased, the solid obtains heat energy from the source. As we know that energy cannot be destroyed, so the heat energy is used by the atoms of the solid to vibrate. This vibration loosens the bond between the molecules of the solid. As a result the solid expands, decreasing its density. Not only solids, but all substances (except water) expand on heating.

With increasing temperature a substance usually expands but not always so usually the density will decrease.

That depends on the liquid. For most liquids, as the temperature decreases, the density increases. Water would be an exception since the density of ice is less than that of liquid water.

What has a effect on water density?

Density of a liquid is indirectly proportional to the temperature. When the temperature raises, the density of the liquid decreases. Therefor the temperature has an effect on water density.

As temperature of the water decreases the density of water does what?

As temperature of liquid water decreases the density remains relatively stable until water changes phase change into solid (crystallization) ice at which point it decreases abruptly by about 10%. Continued cooling has little effect on the density of ice.
