Question

When water is converted to ice, its volume ___ and density ____.

• A. decreases, increases
• B. increases, decreases
• C. increases, increases
• D. decreases, decreases

Answer 1

The correct option is B

increases, decreases

When water is converted to ice, its volume increases and density decreases. When water is cooled down it contracts until $4^{0}C$ but after that, it starts expanding because of which its density decreases.

This phenomenon is known as anomalous behaviour of water.
