When water is in liquid form its molecules are free to move around.
Water molecules are packed reasonably close together. However when water freezes its molecules take up a hexagonal lattice (repeating structure) which has space in the middle of it.

This is largely due to hydrogen bonding between water molecules (complicated).

As a result water molecules in ice aren't packed as closely together as they are in liquid water so the density of ice is lower than that of liquid water.

Hope that helps. I doubt you need to know about hydrogen bonding.

What is the frequency of the sinusoidal graph?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

For finding frequency, we need to first find the period of the graph.

The period of a sinusoidal graph is the time interval in which it repeats its pattern.

In the graph, we can see, after 1/period time, it repeats its pattern.

Hence the period of the graph is  \pi /2.

Now we need to find its frequency 1/\pi /2

The formula for frequency is 2/\pi

This is the answer

i hope you pass the assignment

try your best!
