EXPLANATION. “It’s strength comes from a simple, sound architectural formation, based on the angles of the oxygen nucleus. It also comes from the change to univalent bonds that occurs when water freezes. When these bonds are formed, water molecules are pushed out of the way so the structure has room to form. And the crystalized structure of all ice is more open than the arrangement of liquid water. This is why water has the unusual property of expanding by about 10 percent when it freezes.”
