Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘It becomes more dense when it freezes’.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrogen bonds exist only in the solid state. It can dissolve ionic and polar molecules. It has a high surface tension.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following is not a property of water that results from hydrogen bonding? Water has a high surface tension.
Detailed explanation-4: -Water molecules are polar, so they form hydrogen bonds. This gives water unique properties, such as a relatively high boiling point, high specific heat, cohesion, adhesion and density.
Detailed explanation-5: -Complete step by step answer: The statement that water becomes denser when it freezes is not a property of water.
