Answer 1

its density decreases and its volume increases

Step-by-step explanation:

When water freezes its volume naturally increases which is commonly witnessed by putting a water bottle in a freezer and seeing puffed out from the ice inside. The density also decreases which is why ice floats in liquid water because it loses about 9% of its density in freezing.

Answer 2

When water is changed into ice it have low density and larger volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

Water molecules are connected with each through hydrogen bonding.

When water is changed into ice the distance between water molecules increases and thus ice occupy large volume and its density decreases because of larger distance between molecules and empty spaces present between them.

That's why when ice is drop into water ice float on the surface because of low density.

While the object with greater density than water are sink into it when placed into water.

The density of water is 1.00 g/cm³ while density of ice is 0.92 g/cm³.
