A) The ionic bonds between the molecules in ice prevent the ice from sinking.
B) Stable hydrogen bonds keep water molecules of ice farther apart than water molecules of liquid water.
C) The crystalline lattice of ice causes it to be denser than liquid water.
D) The high surface tension of the water keeps the ice on top.
Answer: B) Stable hydrogen bonds keep water molecules of ice farther apart than water molecules of liquid water
