The atoms themselves do not expand, but the volume they take up does. Liquids expand for the same reason, but because the bonds between separate molecules are usually less tight they expand more than solids. Upon freezing, the density of ice decreases by about 9 percent. As adjectives the difference between dense and heavy is that dense is having relatively high density while heavy is of a physical object having great weight or heavy can be having the heaves.
When the water gets converted to ice, its volume increases as mass of substance remains same. As a result, density of ice is less than that of water. So the added volume is the same, so the level of the water will not change. The water level remains the same when the ice cube melts. A floating object displaces an amount of water equal to its own weight. Since water expands when it freezes, one ounce of frozen water has a larger volume than one ounce of liquid water.

Why do objects expand? What makes a material expand or contract? Does cold air make things expand? Does cold shrink or expand things? Thus water expands as it freezes, and ice floats atop water.
Most matter expands when heated and contracts when cooled, a principle called thermal expansion. The average kinetic energy of the particles increases when matter is heated and this increase in motion increases the average distance between its atoms. When we heat up glass that has a high coefficient of thermal expansion, the glass expands.
The cool part of the glass contracts while the hot part does not so stress develops in the glass. Since glass is brittle, the stress can cause it to crack or shatter in the worst case. Glass may break at low temperatures, but this is because the contents freeze and their expansion cause the glass to crack if the cap does not come off.
Hot temperatures can cause the glass to break when the bottle is subject to excessive thermal variations. When you heat glass slowly through the range of temperatures—starting from room temperature and up to degrees—the glass will become softer, because the higher the temperature gets, the softer the glass becomes. Is glass microwave safe? Yes, glass is almost always microwave safe.
To prevent the glass from breaking, you can also boil the glass in water for 10 minutes. When the glass is evenly heated, it will not produce strong pressure, nor will it cause the cup to break, or you can rinse the cup with a little hot water before filling it, and then blow it up when pouring hot water. There are two ways to safely melt glass without a kiln: lampworking and using a microwave kiln. Lampworking involves the use of a torch to melt glass to the point of being easily manipulated.
A microwave kiln melts glass effectively for small fusing projects. No matter how long you have been fusing glass, opening the kiln after a firing is always exciting. Too often people will get a little impatient and try to open it too soon. If you open it too soon, the glass could be susceptible to thermal shock and break.
Float glass owes its unique name to the process by which it is manufactured wherein the molten glass is introduced into a bath of molten tin, causing the glass to float freely. The method for distinguishing the tin side: Turn your main room light off and roll the UV light across the edge of the glass shining the light along the front and back side of your glass.
You will see that the tin side of the glass will float will glow, and the other side will not. All states of matter expand when heated and contract when cooled. It is important to note that water does not follow the rule of thermal expansion. Water expands when it freezes because the crystalline structure of ice takes up more space than liquid water.
Have you ever noticed when you put a warm bottle of soda into your refrigerator, come back in a couple of hours, it's buckled in and it's lost some of its volume? Well you'll notice that especially if there's a lot of air in that bottle. What you're seeing is the result of thermal expansion or in this case thermal contraction and what that basically says is thermal expansion as an object is heated, molecules move faster and they gain kinetic energy and they bounce further away from each other and that results in an expansion of that object.
Conversely when an object is cooled, the object loses kinetic energy, those molecules are moving slower and they're going to pack together a little bit closer so we see contraction when an object is cooled.
You may have noticed if you have trouble getting the rid of of a pickle jar for example, you can get it up more easily by running it under hot water for several seconds that how water is going to heat up the metal rid and it's going to expand and then you can more easily get it off. There is one exception, we say most matter expands when heated and contracts when cooled and that one exception is water and specifically when water approaches it's freezing point, as water is cooled, it will continue to contract and contract but when it reaches it's freezing point, often it's going to expand and this is why we see ice floating ice has a lower density than does the water surrounding it pushing it up, why is that?
