Explain structure of ice. |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :Ice has a highly ordered three dimensional hydrogen BONDED structure as shown in figure. Examination of ice crystals with X-rays SHOWS that each oxygen atom is surrounded tetrahedrally by four other oxygen ATOMS at a distance of 276 pm. Hydrogen bonding gives ice a RATHER open type structure with wide holes. These holes can hold some other molecules of appropriate size interstitially.
