Question

Ice Select one: a. is a crystal of water molecules packed in an open structure stabilized by hydrogen bonds. b. is less dense than liquid water. c. contains 17% more hydrogen bonds then water. d. all of the statements above are true. e. none of the statements above are true.

Answer 1

Answer:

All of the statements above are true.

Explanation:

Ice is solid water. Ice consists of an array of water molecules arranged into a crystal lattice. Ice has spaces between the water molecules so it is less dense than liquid water. Ice is about 9% less dense than liquid water. This accounts for the fact that it floats on water.

Ice contains more hydrogen bonds per water molecule when compared to liquid water.
