No. Below 4oC, water will start to become less dense as it freezes. This is due to hydrogen bonds. For more information, see the related question below.

Very close. Water is at its maximum density at 4ºC, then becomes less dense as it cools further and freezes. Hence why ice floats, and why the consequent expansion can burst water-pipes.
This property is vital in Nature because it stops lakes etc from freezing to the bottom. Therefore the fish can survive even under thick ice: they simply lie torpid in the deeper, denser, "warmer" water below.

Is Liquid water less dense or more dense?
Liquid water is more dense than ICE , and More dense than water vapour(steam). Liquid water is at its most dense at 2 oC. Water on freezing to ice expands by about 10% of its volume. This is because of the lattice arrangement of water molecules in ice., which does not occur in liquid water., Hence ice floats on water. (icebergs).
Is liquid water more dense than ice water?
No, ice water is more dense than liquid water. This is because the molecules in ice water are arranged in a more structured way, leading to a higher density compared to the more random arrangement of molecules in liquid water.
Is an ice cube more dense or less dense than liquid water?
Less dense. For most substances, the solid form is more dense than the liquid form; water is a notable exception.Less dense.

Is icebergs more or less dense than water?
Icebergs are less dense than water because they are made mostly of frozen freshwater, which has a lower density than liquid water. This causes icebergs to float in water with a portion of their mass sticking out above the surface.
How dense is ice compared to liquid water?
Ice is less dense than liquid water, which means that ice takes up more space for the same amount of mass compared to liquid water.
Does ice float because water becomes more or less dense when its frozen?
The structure of frozen water (ice) is less dense than the random arrangement of the water molecules in liquid water, thus ice floats because water becomes less dense when it is frozen. Because of buoyancy forces, an object placed in a liquid will float if it is less dense than the liquid and sink if it is more dense.
Is frozen water more dense?
no it isnt
How water might have two different densities?
Basicly, liquid water is more dense then frozen water. That's why ice floats on water!
When a liquid is frozen will there be more of it or less?
Freezing does not change the mass of a liquid. Its density may change, however. Most solids are denser than their liquid phase. Frozen water, i.e. ice, is less dense, and so floats.
Is liquid water less dense than ice cubes?
No. Liquid water is more dense. This is why ice cubes float on liquid water.

Is the density of any frozen oil less than that of liquid oil?
No. It is more dense.
What is more dense water vapor liquid water or ice?
Ice water is more dense than warm water.

Why do you think water is less dense when frozen and more dense at room temperature?
because ice floats on water
Which has greater density liquid water or frozen water?
Solid water has greater density than liquid water in general, assuming there is not much dissolved oxygen to cause voids. A solid will always be more dense than a liquid, if it freezes in a manner that does not allow for voids.
