Question

As a solid,water floats.This means that
A)solid water is less dense than liquid water.
B)organisms in ponds,lakes,and reservoirs can survive under the ice cover.
C)the hydrogen bond arrangement differs between ice and liquid water.
D)All of the choices are correct.

Accepted Answer

Solid water (ice) is less dense than liquid water, allowing it to float. This property is due to the hydrogen bond arrangement in ice, which creates a lattice structure that is less dense. This floating ice insulates the water below, allowing organisms to survive in cold environments.
