Inorganic Chemistry (Atoms & Water) Practice Test

Ice floats on water because

• it has a greater cohesive property

• it has a higher heat capacity than liquid water

• water shrinks when it freezes, thus making it heavier than liquid water

• water expands when it freezes, thus making it lighter than liquid water
