Compare the density of ice and water.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Water is denser than ice, ice forms an open cage like structure because of extensive hydrogen bonding which results in the large number of vacant spaces between them. Because of these vacant spaces the density of ice is lesser than that of water.
