Water is the only substance I know of that expands when it freezes. Water actually contracts as it gets cold until it reaches a temperature of 4 C then it expands a little as it cools even more and starts to freeze.

Water does not expand when it gets cold
Water expands when it freezes into ice.
The density of the solid crystal ice is less than then that of liquid water.
The reason is the bonds of ice sre further apsrt then thst of liquid water
Liquid water has very stong ionic bonding called "hydrogen bonding," it shortens the distance between atoms in the liquid form.
Hydrogen bonding is the key to understanding Chemical solubility.
Any molecule capable of hydrogen bonding will also have the same properties upon freezing as water.

most liquids. Wood and metal get smaller as they chill.
