Describe the relationship between thermal energy (temperature) and stability of the hydrogen bonds between water molecules in ice, in liquid water, and as a gas
What will be an ideal response?
The low thermal energy of ice slows the vibration of water molecules, resulting in stable hydrogen bonds. Liquid water has more thermal energy than does ice, and hydrogen bonds are less stable as they break and re-form. At the boiling point, hydrogen bonds are broken, and the water molecules are independent of each other.
