Rain is liquid Ice is solid.

with water when you cool it (slow the molecules) it expands (which is unique to water) becoming a solid crystal, and since it expands its mass per volume ratio has changed making it less dense then liquid water.

How do ice water molecules differ from warm water molecules?

The main difference is that ice water molecules have very low kinetic energy, i.e. they don't move very fast, compared to warm water molecules. The other difference is in the intermolecular forces holding the molecules together. They are greater in ice than in warm water.

Do molecules of ice have less mass than the molecules of water?

Mass is just "the amount of stuff there is". We can measure it in kg. If I have 4kg ice and 4kg water, then the answer is "no", but I could just as easily have 4kg of ice and 5kg water, in which case the answer is "yes". If you mean "does freezing water make it heavier?", then the answer is no - 4kg water makes 4kg ice, and they will weigh the same. However, ice has a greater volume than water*, so freezing water will make it expand. *This is not true for every liquid/solid combo.
