Answer:
Ice is less dense than water because of the way it forms a hexagonal crystalline structure. Each water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to the bottom of an oxygen atom. ... In the winter, temperatures in a lake get close enough to freezing that the colder water is less dense and floats to the top
Explanation:
Answer :
(A) Br₂ (s) : molecular solids
(B) AgCl (s) : ionic solids
(C) S (s) : atomic solids
(D) CH₄ (s) : molecular solids
Explanation :
Molecular solids : It is defined as the solids in which they are held together by covalent forces, dipole interactions as attractive forces etc.
Ionic solids : It is defined as the solids in which the atoms composed with oppositely charged ions.
Atomic solids : It is defined as the solids in which the molecules are held together by covalent forces and also includes pure substance.
(A) Br₂ (s)
It is molecular solids because they are held together by covalent forces.
(B) AgCl (s)
It is ionic solids because in this atoms composed with oppositely charged ions.
(C) S (s)
It is atomic solids because it is a pure substance.
(D) CH₄ (s)
It is molecular solids because they are held together by covalent forces.
B. alcohol
Hydroxyl group is an -OH branch
so,
R - OH is alcohol
