C. Impure water
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Solution
Extent of hydrogen bonding :
<br/><br/>
Ice $>$ liquid water $>$ impure water
<br/><br/>
- In ice, 4 molecules of $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ are connected to $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ molecule.
<br/><br/>
- Impure water will have less hydrogen bonding.
