Particulate representations of \(\text{H}_2\text{O}(s)\) and \(\text{H}_2\text{O}(l)\) in equal volumes at \(0^\circ\text{C}\).
Particulate representations of \(\text{H}_2\text{O}(s)\) and \(\text{H}_2\text{O}(l)\) in equal volumes at \(0^\circ\text{C}\).
The diagrams below represent equal volumes of pure water in the solid state (\(\text{H}_2\text{O}(s)\)) and in the liquid state (\(\text{H}_2\text{O}(l)\)) at \(0^\circ\text{C}\) and \(1\text{ atm}\).

Which of the following best explains why liquid water has a higher density than ice at \(0^\circ\text{C}\)?
