Which out of H2+ and H2– molecular ions is more stable and why?

H2 is less stable than H2+ because in H2 one electron is present in anti-bonding molecular orbital.

Water is generally a good solvent for ionic compounds. Why?

Water is a polar compound with a high dielectric constant (81). Hence, it decreases the electrostatic forces of attraction acting between the oppositely charged ions in an electrovalent compound. Therefore, the ions are separated and dissolution occurs. Dissolution of electrolytes in water is also favoured due to hydration of ions.

How many hydrogen bonded water molecules are present?

The maximum number of hydrogen bonds formed by a water molecule in ice is four (4).

Each water molecule can form two hydrogen bonds involving their hydrogen atoms and two further hydrogen bonds formed by the hydrogen atoms attached to adjacent water molecules. These four hydrogen bonds optimally arrange themselves tetrahedrally around each water molecule as found in ordinary ice.

Why density of water is greater than ice ?

Ice and water both contains H2O molecules but in water H2O molecules are more compactly arrange than in ice.

Ice has a hexagonal cage like structure, inside it H2O molecules are not closely packed.hence there is more vacant space between the molecules of ice. As a result the volume increases due to the vacant spaces.  As a result density of ice decrease.

Other hand,On increasing temperature then kinetic energy of molecules increases as result the interaction between the molecules decrease and as a result the the molecules come closer to each other and the volume decreases, so the density increases.

The density of water is maximum at 3.98 approximately 4 degree celsius.

Why ice floats on water at room temperature ?

At room temperature ice is less dense than liquid water, so it floats on water surface. The maximum density of water occurs around 3.98 or approx 4 degrees Celsius.
