Consider the relative amounts of energy in different phases
Sensible heat - causes a change in the temperature of a phase by changing the kinetic energy of atoms or molecules in the phase
Pure water - the water molecule H2O
Polar water molecules are held together by an electrostatic force
Hydrogen bonds are responsible for many of water’s unusual physical properties

Physical properties of water, IV• In crystalline water, H2O molecules bond together in a structure characterized by open, six-sided rings; the shape is dictated by the tetrahedral shape of H2O molecule• The volume filled by 24 H2O molecules in ice = the volume filled by 27 H2O molecules in water
