1.1.2.
Many solids will sink if they are placed in a liquid, however, when ice is
placed in water the ice floats to the surface. Which property of water
explains why this happens?
A. Ice has more surface tension than water which makes the ice float to
the surface.
B. The cohesion of water molecules keeps the atoms close together,
increasing the density of the ice.
C. Water expands during the freezing process, creating more volume and
decreasing the density of the ice.
D. The bonds between ice molecules expand so that water can fill the
spaces between the water molecules.
