How is Water different from ice
Answers
Structure of Ice
Liquid water is a fluid. The hydrogen bonds in liquid water constantly break and reform as the water molecules tumble past one another. As water cools, its molecular motion slows and the molecules move gradually closer to one another. The density of any liquid increases as its temperature decreases. For most liquids, this continues as the liquid freezes and the solid state is denser than the liquid state. However, water behaves differently. It actually reaches its highest density at about 4°C.
Density of Water and Ice
Temperature (°C) Density (g/cm 3 )
100 (liquid) 0.9584
50 0.9881
25 0.9971
10 0.9997
4 1.000
0 (liquid) 0.9998
0 (solid) 0.9168
Between 4°C and 0°C, the density gradually decreases as the hydrogen bonds begin to form a network characterized by a generally hexagonal structure with open spaces in the middle of the hexagons.

Answer:
it is
Explanation:
A water molecule is formed when two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom is covalently bonded to each other. Water, in its natural state, exists as a liquid. .... In contrast, ice is the solid form of water. Ice has a rigid lattice structure, in a tetrahedral crystalline form which resembles giant molecular elements.
conclusion:
