The water lattice: a. is formed from hydrophobic bonds. b. causes ice to be denser than water. c. causes water to have a relativ
ely low specific heat. d. excludes nonpolar substances. e. is held together by hydrogen bonds that are permanent; that is, they never break and reform.
It is known that water loving bonds are called hydrophilic bonds and water hating bonds are called hydrophobic bonds. Since, water is a polar solvent and it is only able to dissolve polar molecules and not non-polar molecules.
Lattice of water and hydrogen bonding are responsible for the various properties of water like cohesion, adhesion, heat of vaporization etc.
Thus, we can conclude that water lattice excludes non-polar substances.
