Question

Which of these characteristics is NOT a property of water? (SC.912.L.18.12) A. Increases density as it solidifies B. Functions as a universal solvent C. Exhibits a highly cohesive behavior D. Moderates changes in temperature

Answer 1

Option A.

Increases density as it solidifies

Step-by-step explanation:

Increases density as it solidifies is not the characteristics of water because when water solidifies or freeze it become less dense or lighter compare to liquid water. When water solidifies to ice, it molecules are packed together and it is arranged in six sided crystalline shape which make it to be less dense or lighter than the liquid water molecules which is denser or more heavier.
