regarding the following picture of a lattice of ice: Why does it
form the shape that it does? Is it because of the repulsion of
charges from the valence electrons? |Dec31-12, 03:42 PM||#2| Ice
crystal forms that shape due to hydrogen bonds and due to the
shape and charge distribution in the water molecule. The shape
of the water molecule is due, indeed, to the extra electrons in
the valence shell of the oxygen atom. |Similar Threads for: ice
