JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2023 - 24th January Morning Shift - No. 3)

Decreasing order of the hydrogen bonding in following forms of water is correctly represented by

A. Liquid water

B. Ice

C. Impure water

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

A = B > C
B > A > C
A > B > C
C > B > A

Explanation

Extent of hydrogen bonding :

Ice $>$ liquid water $>$ impure water

- In ice, 4 molecules of $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ are connected to $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ molecule.

- Impure water will have less hydrogen bonding.
