The density of water at `0^@C` is more than that of ice at the same temperature. Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

At `0^@ C` ice melts to give water. In ice, open structure is present due to hydrogen bonding. On melting some of the hydrogen bonds break, the open space decreases and the density increases.
