For most substances, the density of the solid form is slightly greater than the density of the liquid form. Water, however, is different. It is slightly less dense in the solid form than it is in the liquid form. Compare water in the solid form with neon, argon, and oxygen, and propose a reason why solid water is less dense than liquid water.

Respuesta :

Answer:When water freezes, water molecules form a crystalline structure maintained by hydrogen bonding. Solid water, or ice, is less dense than liquid water. Ice is less dense than water because the orientation of hydrogen bonds causes molecules to push farther apart, which lowers the density.
