Dear studnet 
The molecules of water is maintaining crystalline structure when it gets freezed. 
Solid water, or ice, is less dense than liquid water. This is due to the fact that ice is less dence than water the density of ice is lower. 
Hope this will help 
Good Luck 
Cheers

When water freezes, water molecules form a crystalline structure maintained by hydrogen bonding. Solid water, or ice, is less dense than liquid water. Ice is less dense than water because the orientation of hydrogen bonds causes molecules to push farther apart, which lowers the density.
