In ice, four hydrogen atoms tetrahedrally surround each oxygen atoms, in such a way that two hydrogen atoms are linked to oxygen atoms by covalent bonds (This lie closer to the oxygen atom at a distance of 1.00A°) and the other two hydrogen bond. (This lie away from oxygen atom at a distance of 1.76A°) The hydrogen atoms of water molecules are located at the corners of tetrahedron.
