No it expands, that's why soda cans sometimes explode if you freeze them.
What else can I help you with?
True or false water contracts when it freezes causing frost wedging?
False, water expands when it freezes.
When water freezes it contracts true or false?
It is false. Water expands on freezing.
Why the surface of ice raises when it changes from water into ice?
water contracts when cooling until about 4 deg. C. From that temp. further cooling causes the water to expand. as it freezes it continues to expand, that is why ice floats.
Do all liquids contract as they cool?
I can't speak for ALL liquids but in general probably yes. However, water in particular has what is known as an anomalous expansion, as follows. When you cool water from, let's say 40C it contracts as it gets cooler until about 4C when it starts to expand again. Then at 0C it freezes. So the coldest water is at the top (at this temperature range) because the coldest water is lightest.
What is the Temp in D F at which Water Freezes?
Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
When water freezes it contracts?
yes
True or false water contracts when it freezes causing frost wedging?
False, water expands when it freezes.
What is thermal expasion?
Its when a liquid freezes and expands or contracts. Ex. Water when it freezes has more mass than the liquid

When water freezes it contracts true or false?
It is false. Water expands on freezing.
Which liquids expand on cooling?
I think that only water expands when it freezes everything else contracts
What is unusual about the behavior of water when it freezes?
It actually expands, instead of contracts, for a few degrees below the freezing point.
What does a solid do when it contracts?
When a solid freezes, it contracts making the molecules inside get closer together which makes the volume smaller.
What happened to the volume of water and the wax after freezing?
At freezing the volume of gas increase.
Does water expand?
When it freezes.

Water does this when it freezes?
It floats when it freezes.
