Decreasing order of the hydrogen bonding in following forms of water is correctly represented by

A. Liquid water

B. Ice

C. Impure water

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A A = B > C
  • B B > A > C
  • C A > B > C
  • D C > B > A

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Extent of hydrogen bonding :

Ice > liquid water > impure water

- In ice, 4 molecules of H2O\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} are connected to H2O\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} molecule.

- Impure water will have less hydrogen bonding.
