As a liquid cools, its particles typically move closer together, resulting in an increase in density. This occurs because the thermal energy decreases, allowing intermolecular forces to draw the particles more tightly. However, some substances, like water, exhibit anomalous behavior; water reaches its maximum density at around 4°C and becomes less dense when it freezes, which is why ice floats on water.
