Which of the following best describes why ice has a lower density than liquid water?

Choose 1

(Choice A)

There is more space between individual atoms at lower temperatures, which means colder water has a lower density.

(Choice B)

Because water changes from its polar form as a liquid to its nonpolar form as a solid.

(Choice C)

The water molecules have less atomic motion than ice.

(Choice D)

Hydrogen bonding causes water to crystallize with more empty space between molecules than in the liquid state.
