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.

Which statement about Fe is supported by the modern atomic theory but not John Dalton’s theory?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

One of the claims of John Dalton's atomic theory is that atom is the smallest unit of matter (which suggests that there are no particles smaller than an atom in any matter). This claim has been disproved by the modern atomic theory which established that there are particles smaller than atom (called subatomic particles). These particles are electrons, protons and neutrons.

One of the modern atomic theory was by Neils Bohr, who proposed that <u>electrons move in circular orbits around the central nucleus</u>. Thus, the electrons of iron can also be said to be present in a region of space (circular path) around the nucleus. This proves that option B is the correct option as John Dalton's theory did not even recognize the electron(s) nor the nucleus.
