Because each hydrogen atom can form a hydrogen bond to an oxygen atom in another water molecule and each oxygen atom has two nonbonding electron pairs, each water molecule can form a maximum of four hydrogen bonds to four other water molecules. The result is a tetrahedral cluster of water molecules around the central water molecule. :)

Does ice have hydrogen bonds?
yes
How does Hydrogen Bonding affect the density of ice?
Water is less dense as a solid than as a liquid. This unusual property of water is due to hydrogen bonds. As water freezes, each molecule forms stable hydrogen bonds with its neighbors, holding them at "arm's length" and creating a three dimensional crystal. In Ice Hydrogen bonds are stable In liquid water hydrogen bonds constantly break and reform.
Which bond is stronger an ionic bond or a hydrogen bond?
Ionic bonds are far stronger than hydrogen bonds. Ice is held together by hydrogen bonds, and table salt, which is sodium chloride (NaCl), is held together by ionic bonds. You can hammer on ice and break the hydrogen bonds holding it together with relative ease. But you can hammer all day on salt, turn it to a white powder, and not break the sodium-chlorine bonds (those ionic bonds) in any molecules of salt by doing so.
Does ice contain ionic bonds?
No. they contain covalent bond and hydrogen bond
When water freezes to form ice what connects the water molecules?
hydrogen bonds
Does ice have hydrogen bonds?
yes
What is responsible for the cohesion of water and ice?
hydrogen bonds
What type of bonds form water and ice?
hydrogen bonds Sincerely, #43 <3 :))

Do the ionic bond between molecules in ice prevent the ice from sinking?
No, because ice does not contain ionic bonds. It contains polar covalent and hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen bonds force the molecules to arrange into a hexagonal crystal structure. The leaves spaces that cause the ice to expand, thus decreasing its density and allowing it to float in water.

What is the role of hydrogen bonds in ice?
In ice, each molecule of water is hydrogen bonded to four other water molecules, forming a hexagonal crystal lattice. This structure causes the ice to increase in volume and become less dense when it freezes.
How are hydrogen bonds like ionic bonds?
Hydrogen bonds have more characteristics of a covalent bond than an ionic bond.
Why are the hydrogen bonds in liquid water are less stable than in ice?
Because in water hydrogen bonding is not permanent due to random motion where as in ice it is permanent also in ice k.e.is also lower
