Answer:

Ice has a different structure than water, they align themselves in a regular lattice rather than completely random in a liquid. The orientation of hydrogen bonds cause molecules to push farther apart, which lowers the density.

Answer:

<em>Ice has a very different structure than liquid water</em>

Explanation:

<em>the lattice arrangement allows water molecules to be more spread out than in a liquid, and, thus, ice is less dense than water.</em>

irakobra [83]
The atomic number of Be is 4, and so it has 2 shells. There are valence electrons in the second, which is the outermost, shell of Be. To get the element with one more shell, there would be 3 shells on the new element, and 1 less valence electron, so the new element should have 1 valence electron. Sodium is the element with 3 shells, and one valence electron which fits perfectly into the description.
