Chemgirljaime, what three fruits and brand of vodka would you use to put in your blender for an ultimate summertime alcoholic smoothie?

Ok, boring question....
Why is water the only substance that expands as it cools and changes to ice?
Note: I have asked this question many times but have yet to receive an answer that makes sense.
2nd note: I have no wish to make out.

now can the three of us make out?
That sounds sloppy. Let's go for it.
Chemgirl, with the lights out, is it really less dangerous?
Chemgirl,
A friend of mine always provides an answer to a question, although sometimes it is with what he calls 'near facts.' Do you do this as well?
it's because of the structure of water ... water is made up of 2 hydrogen molecules and 1 oxygen molecules .. the hydrogen is + charged and the oxygen is - charged... so two water molecules are attracted to each other because of that opposite charge. This is called hydrogen bonding... it's because of this bonding which makes up the unique crystalline structure of ice.
What of Gallium, Bismuth, Antimony, Germanium and Acetic Acid? Aren't the solid phases of these less dense than the liquid phases?
Oh, fuck.
Shit's on now...
Chemgirl,
My GF is making beef bourguignon for dinner tonight. Can you recommend a good wine?

Gallium, Bismuth and Germanium are in fact less dense in the solid phase than the liquid phase... but Antimony and Acetic Acid are not.
The CRC Handbook is more than 6 steps away. Could you check antimony one more time?

"Antimony also has the unusual property that (like water) it expands as it freezes. Four other elements expand when they freeze; silicon, bismuth, gallium and germanium."
I saw that link... I'm trying to find a scientific journal that backs it up.
I'd assign you a paper, but it's a waste of effort do stuff that's already done. You might look up the solid density at the phase change temperature. I'm certain it's different than at room temp which is most commonly reported.
How do I turn lead into gold?
