Decreasing order of the hydrogen bonding in following forms of water is correctly represented by
A. Liquid water
B. Ice
C. Impure water
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Hydrogen bonding in water is influenced by the structural arrangement and the presence of impurities:
- Ice: In ice, water molecules are arranged in a crystalline structure with extensive hydrogen bonding. This fixed arrangement allows for maximum hydrogen bonding, making ice have the strongest hydrogen bonding among the three forms.
- Liquid Water: In liquid water, hydrogen bonds are dynamic and constantly break and reform due to molecular motion. This results in slightly weaker hydrogen bonding compared to ice.
- Impure Water: Impurities in water disrupt the hydrogen bonding network, further weakening the hydrogen bonding compared to pure liquid water.
Conclusion: The decreasing order of hydrogen bonding is: \[ \text{Ice (B) $>$ Liquid Water (A) $>$ Impure Water (C)} \]
Match List-I with List-II.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Such a group of atoms is called a molecule. Obviously, there must be some force that holds these constituent atoms together in the molecules. The attractive force which holds various constituents (atoms, ions, etc.) together in different chemical species is called a chemical bond.
There are 4 types of chemical bonds which are formed by atoms or molecules to yield compounds.
