Hey mate!
Answer:
______________________________________________
⇒ The major attraction between water molecules in solid physical state are the intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
⇒ A water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded with one oxygen atom.
⇒ A hydrogen bonding is an attractive force in which the hydrogen atom of one molecule is attracted to an electronegative atom such as oxygen or nitrogen.
⇒ The intermolecular hydrogen bonding is a bonding between hydrogen and the electronegative molecule present in the same molecule.
⇒ In the solid state of matter, the constituent particles are closely packed.
⇒ The intermolecular forces between the participation of a solid are very strong and therefore, the particles in a solid are in fixed positional and move a little bit only.
⇒ The particles can just move, or we can say they vibrate about their mean positions.
