What else can I help you with?
When water freezes does it rise?
At normal conditions (regular atmospheric pressure), yes. When freezing, water will be taking more volume until it completely turns into ice.
Ice is heavier than water or not?
Ice is lighter (less dense) than water. Which is why ice can float on the surface of water.
A piece of ice floats on water. what does this tell you about the density of ice compared to the density of water?
It tells you that the ice is less dense than the water.
What form of water takes up the most space?
Water in its solid form, as ice, takes up the most space compared to its liquid form. When water freezes, it expands and becomes less dense, causing it to take up more volume.
Do different temperatures affect water density?
Yes. When water freezes, it becomes less dence and floats. When warm, or room temperature, it is liquid and is more dense. This is a rare quality among substances, where most do the opposite and become more dence when they freeze.
Is water denser when it's frozen than when liquid?
No. I*f it were, ice would sink in a glass of water. As water freezes, it expands, and becomes less dense.
Murcury expands when it's hot but what expands when it's cold?
Water expands when it freezes and becomes ice.

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.
Why does ice shrink when it freezes?
Water actually becomes less dense, or expands, when frozen. When liquid water reaches it's freezing point, the water molecules rearrange themselves into a lattice structure. Due to the nature of the water molecules, they arrange themselves in such a way as to make it less dense than it was in it's liquid form, which is why ice floats on top of liquid water.
What properties change when water freezes to ice?
When water freezes to ice, it becomes less dense, expands in volume, and forms a crystalline structure. Additionally, its molecules slow down and move into a more ordered arrangement, resulting in a solid state.
Why water expands when freezes?
This is becuase it becomes a solid and the particles expand to fit neatly into a solid square.
Is ice denser than cold water?
no, when water freezes it becomes less dense, that is why ice floats.
What expands as it freezes?
Water
