because the water will be converted into ice in fridger which is in solid form and requires more surface area thus the bottle will burst due to the pressure made by ice on its walls

1. The temperature of air in the freezer (deepfreeze) compartment of a refrigerator is less than 0°C.
2. When a plastic bottle, completely filled with water, is kept in this compartment, the temperature of water falls below 4°C and the water expands.
3. Even when water freezes and ice is formed, there I an increase in the volume.
4. It exerts a large pressure on the sides of the bottle.
Hence, a glass bottle is likely to burst.
