1.	As its melting point, ice is lighter than water because:
Answer» `H_(2)O` molecules are more closely packed in the SOLID state ice crystals have follow hexagonal arrangement of `H_(2)O` molecules on melting of ice `H_(2)O` molecules shrink in size ice forms mostly heavy water on first melting. Solution :(B) Ice crystals have `H_(2)O` molecules ARRANGED hexxagonally and linked by hydrogen bonds.
