Hydrogen bonds
The crack would expand because the water in the rock, as it freezes, expands.
hydrogen bonds
Yes, freezing an object can cause it to expand. Water, for example, expands when it freezes, which is why ice cubes take up more space than liquid water. This is due to the formation of a crystalline structure in the freezing process, which requires the molecules to move further apart.
yes it can. it will just break the object containing, and if not possible, compress into super ice.
When water freezes, it expands as it turns into ice. This expansion causes the volume of the water balloon to increase, which can lead to the balloon bursting if the ice takes up too much space.
When it freezes.
Yes, it will expand.

Its very unusual for a substance to expand when it freezes, water is just odd that way. Its just a property of water, its moleucles expand in the area they take up and take up more space.
water exspands 25milimeters. ----------------------------------------------------------- The answer above is not correct. The expansion of water after freezing is approx. 9 %. This phenomenon is due to the fact that hydrogen bonds between water molecules are stronger at low temperatures.
hydrogen bonds
When water freezes, there is an increase in hydrogen bonds. As the temperature decreases, water molecules come closer together, forming a crystalline structure in which hydrogen bonds become more stable and stronger, leading to the solidification of water into ice.
can you keep water from expanding when it freezes?
Yes, freezing an object can cause it to expand. Water, for example, expands when it freezes, which is why ice cubes take up more space than liquid water. This is due to the formation of a crystalline structure in the freezing process, which requires the molecules to move further apart.
It is not that 20 per cent of the water expands - all of the water expands.
