Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The similarities and differences between the arrangement of molecules and forces between molecules in liquid water versus steam and in liquid water versus ice are to be discussed.
Concept introduction:
A liquid water molecule contains an oxygen atom which connected with two hydrogen atoms. Pure water freezes to form a solid at
Answer to Problem 20A
Ice water is a solid in which water molecules are held together in a crystalline structure and they are not free to move. As liquid water molecules are free to move but are less tightly held together than ice water molecules. The gaseous water molecules move individually in random motion. All these phases of water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonding.
Explanation of Solution
In a water molecule, the oxygen atom is bonded with two hydrogen atom by a covalent bond. While two water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonding. In liquid water, molecules are free to move and tightly held together by hydrogen bonding. When water temperature increases to
From ice to liquid to gas, the randomness of water molecules increases, and the molecules are together by hydrogen bonding.
