Water has special characteristics because of the nature of hydrogen bonds what are they?
pick all that apply

a. liquid water is denser than ice

b. ice sinks to the bottom of a lake

c. liquid water is less dense than ice

d. ice floats on top of liquid water

Water has special characteristics because liquid water is denser than ice and ice floats on top of liquid water.

Option A & D

Explanation:

A water molecule is formed by the covalent bonding between two atoms of Hydrogen atom with one atom of Oxygen. In water, the Hydrogen bonds are the one that keeps the water molecule intact.  

When the water molecule freezes the bonding becomes weak as they are separated and set apart which makes the liquid water denser than ice. Normally a substance floats if it is less dense. Ice floats because it is less dense than water.  

blue stars have the highest surface temp

stellar distances are usually expressed in light-years

the measure of a star's brightness is called magnitude

hope this !

c is the correct answer hope this !
