In general boiling point of covalent compounds is affect due to increasing molecular weight and hydrogen bonding. Thus it is obversed that the boiling point of octanol is greater that water while that of methanol is lesser than water. The other properties which are considerably affected due to hydrogen bond formation are acidic nature, melting point, anamalous behaviour of water below `4^(@)C`., It is therefore concluded that hydrogen bonding palys a vutal role in explaning many observable facts.
Q. Which of the following statements is true?

Options

A. The lattice structure of ice involves true covalent bond
B. The lattice structure of ice is the result of dipole-dipole interaction
C. The lattice structure of ice is the result of intra and inter-molecular hydrogen bond formation
D. The lattice structure of ice is only due to inter-molecular hydrogen bonding

Answer

D
