due to this breaking the volume decreases at 277 ke(4 degree Celsius), it so happens that the entire cage like structure is broken which results in decrease in volume resulting in maximum density there for density of water is maximum at this temperature

Hey mate!!!

here is ur answer...

Water attains it's maximum density about 4° Celsius because it is at that temperature that hydrogen bonds from. The effect of the formation of these bonds is that molecules of water are actually pushed apart and into an alignment scheme (crystals) that prevents them from more closely packing together as in the liquid state.

 

Between 4oC and 0o,water begins to take on a slushy appearance as these crystals form.

HOPE IT HELPS.
