Besides water, bismuth, silicon, gallium, antimony and germanium also form solids that are less dense than the liquid at the freezing point. All of these substances are less dense because the lattice structure of the solid is less dense than the random spacing present in the liquid at the freezing point.

What are anomalous substances?
anomalous substance is a substance in which the solvent dissolves in
What are the effect of heat on a substance?
Almost all the substance respond to heat. Heat is a type of energy which is more or less absorbed by almost all matters. The vital effect that heat causes is Expansion. Due to heat 3 types of expansion takes place within substances. They are: 1) Linear expansion of heat, 2) Surface expansion of heat & 3) Volumetric expansion of heat.
Substances that cause the oxidation of other substances are?
oxidizing agents
Properties that depend on the substances reaction with other substances?
Chemical properties are properties that depend on the substances reactions with other substances. Physical properties can be observed without changing the composition of the matter.
Are polar and non polar liquids soluble?
Generally not. The general rule to go by is like dissolves like. Polar substance will dissolve other polar substances while nonpolar substances will dissolve other nonpolar substances.
What are anomalous substances?
anomalous substance is a substance in which the solvent dissolves in
What is anomalous behavior of watar?
The anomalous behavior of water refers to the expansion of water when it freezes instead of contracting.
How the anomalous expansion of water will help in the conservation of Bio diversity?
the anomalous expansion of water is where water contracts from 0to 4 degrees and then expands.In winters when the large water bodies turn deadly cold,the anomalous expansion of water helps in freezing only the top layer of the water bodies so that the marine life can survive underneath.This is how the anomalous expansion of water is useful in conservation of bio diversity
What is Anomalous expansion of water?
The expansion of water when it is cooled from four degree centigrade to zero degree centigrade is known as "anomalous expansion of water." The unusual behaviour of water, when it expands below 4° celsius to 0° is called anmalus expansion of water.
What are the disadvantages of the anomalous expansion of water?
water has the property of expanding when cooled at a temperature below 4`C. As a result water pipes burst due to the anomalous (strange) expansion of water in the colder regions.
Because of this anomalous expansion of water that water pipes sometimes burst during winter?
Anomalous expansion of water and bursting of water pipes during winter is because ice takes more space than water
What are disadvantages of anomalous expansion of water?
water pipes burst due to expansion of water in colder regions.
Why does anomalous expansion of water occur?
To save the living creatures in water during winter season.
What happens if water does not have its anomalous expansion?
If Water loses its anomalous expansion then there would be no chances of aquatic life surviving in winter.the density of ice and water will be whatsoever be same which could cause the ice from polar regions to sink in water and causing serious global problems
What is the name of the law of chemistry or physics that makes water expand when it freezes?
the law of anomalous expansion of water.
What is the temperature for water to start increasing its volume?
4 degrees celcious. this is known as anomalous property of expansion.
How do you write a sentence using the word anomalous?
The results from the test are anomalous; they do not fit the pattern established in other tests.
