Correct choices:
- high boiling point — ✓
(Hydrogen bonds hold molecules together, so more energy is required to separate them and boil water.)
- high specific heat — ✓
(Breaking/rearranging hydrogen bonds absorbs heat, so water resists temperature change.)
- density of ice being less than that of liquid water — ✓
(Hydrogen bonding creates an open hexagonal lattice in ice, making it less dense than liquid water.)
Incorrect:
- low boiling point — ✗
- low specific heat — ✗
- density of ice being greater than that of liquid water — ✗
