Which statement is wrong about H2O ?...

Which statement is wrong about `H_2O` ?

A

It has high specific heat relative to other liquids or solids due to strong intermolecular H-bonding

B

`H_2O` molecule has capaity to form ` 4H`-bonds

C

`H_2O` has open cage like structure due to intermolecular H-bonding which give rise to low density to ice than liquid `H_2O`

D

`H_2O` has maximum density at `4^@ C` since upto `4^@C` the intermolecular H-bonding persists more and thereby decreasing volume and increasing density .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Upto `4^@ C,` the intermolecualr H-bonding keeps on breaking and therebu dereasing the volume and increasing the density .
