Chapter 11, Problem 48E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for atypical nature of water in terms of density is to be stated. The significance for the given statement is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Generally the density of solid substance is greater than the liquid substances. But in case of water the case is exactly opposite. In case of water, solid water is less dense than the liquid water. Although the solid water (ice) exists in solid form but it floats on water.

To determine: The reason for atypical nature of water in terms of density; the significance of this reason.
