Joey Tesseracts The Tesseract on Instagram: "Ice expansion from a thermodynamic perspective. A more popular answer comes from a chemical perspective that shows that ice has hexagonal lattice structure that gives it a density smaller than liquid water. This is just a different explanation through a thermodynamic perspective (from the Clausius Clapeyron Equation) that also works. #furry #STEM #Physics"

How Everything Is Made on Instagram: "What you’re looking at is a visualization of water molecules arranging themselves into ice as the temperature drops. ❄️🔬 As water cools, the molecules lose kinetic energy — meaning they move less, collide less, and begin to form stable hydrogen bonds with one another. Instead of staying in a constantly shifting liquid state, the molecules lock into a rigid hexagonal lattice, the signature structure of ice. That lattice is also why frozen water expands and w
