← ScienceWhich mechanism prevents ice from having unlimited density?
A)Hydrogen bond saturation✓
B)Van der Waals repulsion
C)Covalent bond polarity
D)Debye shielding effect
💡 Explanation
Hydrogen bond saturation limits the density of ice because each water molecule can only form hydrogen bonds with a limited number of neighbors. Therefore, molecules are constrained, rather than allowing unlimited packing under increasing pressure.
