← ScienceWhich consequence result when temperature decreases below the freezing indicator of molecular water?
A)Hydrogen bond breaking strengthens ice lattice
B)Van der Waals forces become dominant
C)Tetrahedral hydrogen bonds form ice✓
D)Crystallization entropy change becomes negligible
💡 Explanation
The formation of ice happens via hydrogen bonding because directional forces between water molecules align, forming an ordered tetrahedral structure for crystallization; therefore, a crystal forms rather than entropy dominating, and the hydrogen bonds formation create space.
