Water expands once it freezes. What transpires if you prevent it?

The oxygen atoms in water molecules have higher electric dipole moments than the hydrogen atoms, thus the molecule is bent with the hydrogen atoms almost on the opposite side of the oxygen. This indicates that water molecules strongly attract one another electrostatically (opposite charges attract one another). The molecules like to line up in an orderly pattern, with the positively charged part of one molecule next to the negatively charged part of another molecule and so on, bound together in a hard crystal, if there isn't too much random motion of the molecules (i.e., the water isn't too hot). If the molecules have more thermal energy, they move around and release themselves from their neighbors. They still choose to adhere to They continually switch their neighbors and interact with one another as a result of their frequent movements. The liquid phase is at hand. The oxygen atoms in water molecules have higher electric dipole moments than the hydrogen atoms, thus the molecule is bent with the hydrogen atoms almost on the opposite side of the oxygen. This indicates that water molecules strongly attract one another electrostatically (opposite charges attract one another). The molecules like to line up in an orderly pattern, with the positively charged parts of one molecule next to the negatively charged parts of another molecule, and so on, kept together in a cohesive manner, if there isn't too much random motion of the molecules (i.e., the water isn't too hot).
