Why does ice float?

• As water freezes, the molecules move farther apart (expands) and the density decreases.

• As water freezes, the hydrogen bonds mix with air and create buoyancy.

• As water freezes, the bonds break, making it float.

• As water freezes, the molecules move closer together, causing the density to increase.

What makes water a universal solvent?

• It is a polar molecule that can form hydrogen bonds, allowing it to dissolve many substances.

• It is a nonpolar molecule that can form hydrogen bonds, allowing it to dissolve many substances.

• It is a polar molecule with a low specific heat, allowing it to dissolve many substances.

• It is a nonpolar molecule with a low specific heat, allowing it to dissolve many substances.
