When most liquids are frozen, the molecules get closer together. in water, however, hydrogen bonds cause individual water molecules to remain farther apart. which of the following properties of water does this best explain?

water is colorless and odorless. water is an excellent solvent. ice is less dense than liquid water. ice melts at 0 degrees celsius.

The correct answer is - ice is less dense than liquid water.

Explanation:

In most of the liquid when they get freeze their molecules come closer to each other, however, in the case of the water the molecules come closer to form a crystalline lattice structure with low energy.

But when it forms crystal the water molecules are pushed apart farther as they have hydrogen bond in them. It causes the property of denser water than ice.

Thus, the correct answer is - ice is less dense than water.

the correct answer is b
