Question

Discuss the anomalous nature of water.

Answer 1

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.
