Chapter 15, Problem 34A
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To distinguish between the structure of ice and water.

Concept Introduction: The structure of ice and water differ mainly in the composition of the bonding. When the physical difference is considered, water will be in the form of a liquid that takes the shape of the container while ice is a solid that maintains its shape when kept in a container.

Answer to Problem 34A

Water contains hydrogen bonds that are short-lived and may break upon applying force. Whereas in ice the hydrogen bonding is strong as compared to that of water.

Explanation of Solution

Water is a liquid. The hydrogen bonds in the water molecule can easily break and reform when the water molecules pass one another. Since water is fluid the molecules can move. In the case of ice, water is cooled, which makes the motion of the molecules slow, and gradually, become closer to each other, which makes the bonding strong as compared to that of water.

Conclusion

Ice is a solid form of water that is formed by changing the temperature. As the density of the liquid increase, the temperature decrease. Therefore, ice will be less dense as compared to that water and float.
