because the water expands as it freezes but not right away, the pressure will actually keep it liquid longer...
fun experiment: put a glass bottle of soda in the freezer for a couple of hours. then take it out while it is still liquid. pop open the top and watch the ice crystals form inside the liquid and spread like a special effects movie right in front of you....

Water expands when it freezes. If the bottle is capped and the water cant push out the top the pressure will break the bottle.

Water expands when it freezes; you could try leaving the cap on but not tight so it can "breath" or try using plastic bottles. Also try to leave room for the water to expand by not filling the bottles to the top.

because water[ice] expands on freezing so when the water freezes it occupy more space but because the bottle is there so to occupy its space the ice exerts pressure on the glass bottle and it breaks.

H2O is a polarized molecule. When it gets cold the two ends of the molecule get farther apart. That causes trouble for rocks that get water in their cracks. It is a good thing that it happens, because it causes frozen water to float. Otherwise ice would form in lakes and rivers from the bottom up, and soon all the biota would die. FYI: Water is at its densest at -4 degrees centigrade.

Because water expands (by 1/9 its volume) when it freezes.

Because water expands when it freezes, and the glass doesn't.

because water expands when it freezes so there is not enough room in the bottle
