Does water comtract and increases its density on cooling it below 0 degree C?

4 degrees C turns out to be thetemperature at which liquid water hasthe highest density. If you heat it orcool it, it will expand. The expansion ofwater when you cool it to lower temperatures is unusual, since most liquids contract when they're cooled.
When ice is heated from 0 to 4 degrees C, it actually contracts. The water molecules get closer together and the water occupies less volume. However, above 4 degrees C water expands as it is heated like most other liquids. In general though, heat makes solids, liquids, and gasses expand.

water is the only one which contracts on heating and it show it's Max density at 4 degree Celsius
