Answer
Water expands and takes up more volume when frozen.
Water is polar and has a high surface tension compared to wax which is nonpolar and a lower surface tension. Therefore, water will not mix and bead up.
Water has a lower vapor pressure as compared to alcohol. Vapor pressure is the tendency of water to escape as a gas.
