Solid Phase (Ice)
Unlike most other substances, water's solid form (ice) is less dense than its liquid form, as a result of the nature of its hexagonal packing within its crystalline structure. ... However, a block of ice floats in liquid water because ice is less dense than liquid water.
Unlike most other substances, water's solid form (ice) is less dense than its liquid form, as a result of the nature of its hexagonal packing within its crystalline structure. This lattice contains more space than when the molecules are in the liquid state. ... Liquid water is most dense at 4 degrees Celsius.
6.Evaporation is a phase transition from the liquid phase to the gas phase that occurs at temperatures below the boiling point at a given pressure.
