How many hydrogen atoms are surrounding each oxygen atom in structure of ice?

  • A
    2
  • Correct answer
    B
    4
  • C
    3
  • D
    1

Solution

4 In the structure of ice, four hydrogen atoms surround each oxygen atom. It has a crystalline structure that is based on the water molecule, which is made up of a single oxygen atom covalently bound to two hydrogen atoms $(\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H})$. Figure

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
