most substances change from liquid to solid form, they shrink together and denser

water changes from a liquid to solid it expands, becomes less dense At normal atmospheric pressure, molecules usually behave in predictable ways as their temperature changes. Molecules fly apart into a gas when heated, condense into a flowing liquid when cooled, and shrink into a frozen solid when chilled still further. The changes in state parallel changes in energy: from high energy to medium energy

Scientists say water's quirky behavior is caused by the shape of its molecule and by how its molecules bond to one another

Which liquids expand on cooling?

I think that only water expands when it freezes everything else contracts


Which one of these is a property of air - it contracts on heating or cooling or it expands on cooling or it is made of carbon dioxide and water vapour only?

Air contracts on cooling and expands on heating due to changes in temperature. It is not made up of only carbon dioxide and water vapor but is a mixture of various gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide.


Does water expand when cooled?

Yes, water expands when cooled below 4 degrees Celsius due to the formation of hydrogen bonds in its molecular structure. This expansion causes water to become less dense and eventually freeze into ice at 0 degrees Celsius.


When water changes to ice it expands how could this damage a cars cooling system?

ur joking right. well when ice expands it will fracture the cooling system. its kinda like when you fill a plastic bottle to the top with water, put the lid on and freeze it. if you dont know what i mean then try it, but for gods sake dont use glass!!!


Objects that form as warm air rises expands and then cools?

One example is clouds forming as warm air rises, expands, and cools in the atmosphere. The cooling causes water vapor in the air to condense into tiny water droplets or ice crystals, creating visible cloud formations. This process is known as adiabatic cooling.


Why does water expand on heating?

water expands on heating and contracts on cooling because when water is heated the molecules are closely packed and they overflow but when cooled they are loosely packed therefore they dont overflow. it is as simple as that.


As air rises and expands does it undergo advective cooling?

No. It undergoes convective cooling, rising and losing heat to the surrounding air.


Is this true that water contracts on cooling but it expands when cooled further from 4 degree C to 0 degree C?

Yes it contract and the expansion from 4 to 0 degrees is due to the crystallisation of water molecules.


What forms when warm air is forced upwards expands and cools?

Clouds form when warm air is forced upwards and expands, causing it to cool. This cooling process leads to the condensation of water droplets, which then clump together to form clouds.


Does 20 percent of water expand as it freezes?

It is not that 20 per cent of the water expands - all of the water expands.


What is the working of the thermometer?

capillarity rise.heating expands mercury whereas cooling contracts mercury


When warm air rises it expands this causes it to lose ability to hold water creating?

When warm air rises and expands, it cools down. As it cools, its capacity to hold water vapor decreases, leading to condensation and the formation of clouds. This process is known as adiabatic cooling.
