g. Conclusion. All particular interaction abides by similar rules in terms of phase change from gas to liquid to solids by moving closer together and slowing down in vibrational motion. Water, however, is the one exception to this rule in terms of molecular spacing. When energy is removed from water, it will continue to move closer together until it reaches about 4 degrees C, at which point, the molecules start moving further apart. An example of this on the East Coast, where precipitation and freezing temperatures are common in winter, cracks in roads and sidewalks are also quite common. Why may this be so
