Why does water expand when it is frozen?
t expands when it is frozen. As a liquid is cooled down the molecules move more slowly allowing the attractive forces between them to become stronger. Eventually, these forces become strong enough to ... f molecules in what is known as a crystal lattice. Water is exceptional because it can maximize the attractive forces between its molecules with an arrangement where each water molecule is surrounded ...
