Density anomalies of ice
Ice and water are made up of H2O molecules which is form by one oxygen atom covalently bonded to 2 hydrogen atoms. The molecules are found to be bonded together to each other through hydrogen bonding. Ice is the only non-metal solid that is found to expand when frozen. This is due to the reducti...

| Summary: | Ice and water are made up of H2O molecules which is form by one oxygen atom covalently bonded to 2 hydrogen atoms. The molecules are found to be bonded together to each other through hydrogen bonding.
Ice is the only non-metal solid that is found to expand when frozen. This is due to the reduction of density causing the volume to increase. This explained why the water pipes burst during winter.
At a given temperature, pressure and environment, the structure of the ice will change forming different type of ice |
