Nitrogen , oxygen and fluorine are the highly electronegative elements. When they are tied to a hydrogen atom to form covalent bond, the electrons of the covalent bond are shifted towards the more electronegative atom.This partially positively charged hydrogen atom forms a bond with the other electronegative atom. This bond is called as hydrogen bond and is weaker than covalent bond.For example, in HF molecule, thehydrogen bond exists between hydrogen atom of one molecule and fluorine atom of another molecule as depicted ---H^(delta+)-F^(delta-)---H^(delta+)-F^(delta-)---H^(delta+)-F^(delta-) Here, hydrogen bond acts as bridge between atoms which holds one atom by covalent bond and the other by hydrogen bond.Hydrogen bond is represented by a dotted line (---) while a solid line represents the covalent bond. Thus, hydrogen bond can be defined as the attractive force which binds hydrogen atom of one molecule with the electronegative atom (F,O and N) of another molecule. What statement is incorrect about D_2O (solid)

Answer»

It will float in `D_2O` liquid
It will sink in `H_2O` liquid
It has maximum DENSITY at `4^@C`
It has less volume than `H_2O` solid for same mass of both compound

Solution :`D_2O` has different properties than `H_2O` MAX. density of `D_2O` is at APPROXIMATELY `10^@C`
