Question

anomalous behavior of water​

Answer 1

Answer:

The anomalous expansion of water refers to the fact that water, unlike most substances, expands when it freezes. The density of water increases as temperature decreases but reaches a maximum at 4° C then begins to expand. ... The fact that water expands upon freezing causes icebergs to float.

Answer 2

Answer:

The anomalous expansion of water is an abnormal property of water whereby it expands instead of contracting when the temperature goes from 4o C to 0o C, and it becomes less dense. ... The density becomes less and less as it freezes because molecules of water normally form open crystal structures when in solid form
