What other substances have anomalous expansion?
Like water, antimony, bismuth, silicon, and gallium also exhibit anomalous expansion behavior, where they expand upon solidification. This is due to the unique arrangement of atoms in their crystal structure, which causes them to expand instead of contract when transitioning from a liquid to a solid state.
Which liquefied metal expand on solidification?
grey cast iron because during solidification the graphite flakes expands Bismuth and antimony are metallic elements that expand on solidification (~3-4%). These elements solidify in a monoclinic (not close-packed) structure which becomes more dense when it transforms from a solid to a liquid. A range of bismuth alloys are used for low temperature melt applications that have take advantage of the expansion to get close tolerance die castings. Gallium is a third metal element that expands during solidification (31 deg C).
How much does Bismuth expand on cooling?
Bismuth contracts on cooling, rather than expanding. Its coefficient of thermal expansion is negative, meaning it contracts as it cools.
Does oil expand when frozen?
by 'the law of non-compress ability of liquid' a liquid can neither be compressed nor be expanded. Between 3'C and 0'C water does expand with a decrease in temperature. Water at 3'C is the densest; water at 0'C is the lightest. This is the only interval for Ice I on which it expands with decreasing temperature.
Can you make jewelry using gallium?
Maybe in an alloy, but definitely not on its own. The melting point of gallium is only 29 oC, which is below body temperature, so a gallium ring could melt off your finger on a warm day. Gallium is an attractive looking metal, but it's too reactive to have much ornamental use. It could be sealed inside something transparent to stem the reactivity and keep it from running away in liquid form. Glass could work if care was taken to allow space in the chamber for the metal to expand when it solidifies in cooler temperatures.

What two pure substaces expand when frozen?
1. water 2. silicon 3. bismuth 4. antimony 5. gallium pick two.
Why is water the only substance that expands when frozen?
Nope. Silicon(Si), Gallium(Ga), Antimony(Sb), Bismuth(Bi) and acetic acid(CH3COOH, vinegar) all expand on freezing as well. Moreover, silicon expands more than water on freezing (10% compared to waters 8%). The trick to this is that any substance with an open tetrahedral molecular structure will also expand upon freezing. (Perhaps phosphorus oxide(s))
What substances will expand upon freezing?
Water expands when it freezes because, due to the hydrogen bonding, it forms a tetrahedral lattice. Other things that expand when frozen include silicon, bismuth, antimony, gallium, and germanium for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water#Density_of_water_and_ice
What temperature will water be the heaviest?
Water reaches its maximum density at 4 degrees C (about 40 degrees F), and as water cools further toward its freezing point, the liquid water, under standard conditions, expands to become less dense. The physical reason for this is related to the crystal structure of ordinary ice, known as hexagonal ice (ice Ih). Water,gallium, bismuth, acetic acid, antimony and silicon are some of the few materials which expand when they freeze; most other materials contract.

As water freezes it expands?
Yes, water does frezee as it expands because of the presure. For example, if there was a hole in a rock and you put water in the rock and let it sit over night on a cool night the rock might crack. This proves that the pressure of ice freezing is higher than the rock's pressure.
How much does Bismuth expand on cooling?
Bismuth contracts on cooling, rather than expanding. Its coefficient of thermal expansion is negative, meaning it contracts as it cools.

Does freezing cause water to expand and crack rock?
yes
What do you leave dripping when freezing?
A cold faucet. A minimal water flow stops the water from freezing and allows for ice to expand.
Does silicon expand when frozen?
Silicone is an orthoputic material that expands after being contained in a certain area for a certain period of time. That is why individuals who undergo cosmetic surgery often have to remove or change them because silicone will continue to expand (and while in the body) will explode.
