Water is one of the things that expands when it freezes, yes. But most other substances get somewhat smaller (contract) when they freeze.
Yes, freezing something can cause it to shrink. When water freezes, it expands and takes up more space which can lead to the shrinking of the object it is contained in. This is why fruit and vegetables can appear smaller after being frozen.
Freezing stone can cause it to expand and contract, potentially leading to cracks or fractures in the material. This is because water trapped in the stone can expand when frozen, putting pressure on the surrounding stone structure. In general, it is not recommended to freeze stone as it can damage the material.
This process is called weathering. Very cold temperatures cause any water in the cracks of the rocks to freeze and expand which puts pressure on the rocks. The water thaws when the temperature rises. Repeating this process over and over will eventually undermine the strength of the rock causing it to crumble.
Very unlikely, if possible.
Endothermic reactions absorb heat, while exothermic reactions emit heat. Both can be used to generate freezing depending on various chemical compounds.
Freezing typically does not affect the weight of an object. When an object is frozen, it undergoes a phase change from liquid to solid, but its mass remains the same. However, freezing can cause a slight expansion in volume due to the change in state.
yes
The molecules in an object begin to move because of the heat. The moving of the molecules cause the space between them to expand. That is how blacksmiths are able to change the shape of metals.
Heat causes ojects to expand . The object also will melt if it is a solid , and will turn into gas if heated.
Yes, freezing something can cause it to shrink. When water freezes, it expands and takes up more space which can lead to the shrinking of the object it is contained in. This is why fruit and vegetables can appear smaller after being frozen.
No, heat does not increase mass. Heating an object can increase its internal energy and cause it to expand, but the total mass of the object remains the same.

There is no object that never freezes, as freezing is a natural phenomenon that occurs when an object's temperature drops below its freezing point. However, some substances, such as helium, have extremely low freezing points that make them resistant to freezing under normal conditions.
A cold faucet. A minimal water flow stops the water from freezing and allows for ice to expand.
Freezing and thawing are rare in deserts because the temperatures typically do not fluctuate enough to cause water to freeze and expand. Water erosion is also rare in deserts because there is limited water available to cause significant erosion processes, such as runoff and sediment transport.
The phenomenon of rain freezing on contact with a cold object is called "freezing rain".
