Question

multiple choice question
which best describes what happens to water when it freezes?
o its molecules become packed more tightly together
o its hydrogen bonds force molecules into a lattice structure
o its covalent bonds cause the molecules to move further apart
o its hydrogen bonds cause its molecules to adhere more quickly to surfaces

Explanation:

When water freezes, hydrogen - bonds between water molecules force them into an open lattice structure. In liquid water, molecules are more randomly arranged. The lattice structure of ice is less dense than liquid water. Covalent bonds within water molecules don't change during freezing. Adhesion to surfaces is not the main process during freezing. And water molecules actually become more spread - out in the ice lattice compared to liquid water in some aspects due to the hydrogen - bond arrangement.

Answer:

its hydrogen bonds force molecules into a lattice structure
