Which outcome results when electrostatic attraction dominates water?

A)Ice lattice strengthens unexpectedly
B)Hydrogen bonds significantly lengthen
C)Melting point declines drastically
D)Dielectric constant slowly increases

💡 Explanation

Upon freezing, electrostatic attractions drive hydrogen bonds, promoting water crystallization via hydrogen bonding. The tetrahedral structure is enhanced because these electrostatic forces cause ordering, therefore ice lattice strengthens rather than other effects at different temperatures/pressures.
