The bonds that hold water molecules far apart from each other are ice. The hydrogen bonds' postulation in ice keeps them far apart from one another.

Water molecules attract polar molecules through adhesion and cohesion forces. Adhesion occurs when water molecules are attracted to other polar molecules, while cohesion refers to the attraction between water molecules themselves. Peptide bonds and ionic bonds are not typically involved in the attraction between water and other polar molecules.
No, water molecules do not bond to each other with covalent bonds. Instead, water molecules are attracted to each other through hydrogen bonding, which is a weaker type of interaction than covalent bonds.
Ionic bonds can be dissociated by water because the polar nature of water molecules allows them to surround and pull apart ions in an ionic compound. Covalent bonds, on the other hand, are not typically dissociated by water.
Hydrogen bonds can dissolve in water because water molecules are polar, containing a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom. This allows water molecules to attract and surround the molecules that were previously held together by hydrogen bonds, breaking them apart and dissolving them in the water.

Hydrogen bonds bond water molecules with other water molecules. These bonds are formed between the hydrogen atom of one water molecule and the oxygen atom of another water molecule. Hydrogen bonding gives water its unique properties such as high surface tension and the ability to dissolve many substances.

No, molecules that are farthest apart from each other are not called water vapor. Water vapor refers specifically to the gaseous form of water molecules. Molecules that are far apart from each other can simply be part of a gas phase.

Water is composed of molecular bonds, but forms hydrogen bonds with other water molecules. Hydrogen bonds are not actual bonds, but they cause an attraction between the water molecules, which is why water is adhesive.
When water freezes, rigid hydrogen bonds between water molecules are formed. Each Oxygen atom in the ice lattice has 4 bonds. 2 covalently bonded hydrogen atoms, and 2 hydrogen bonds ('H-Bonds'). These hydrogen bonds are slightly longer than the covalent bonds, and hold the H2O molecules apart. When the ice melts, the rigid hydrogen bonds collapse and molecules move closer together. Normally when solids melt, the molecules move slightly further apart, and hence the liquid is less dense than the solid.

Water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
Ice is less dense than water because as water cools and becomes a solid (freezes), hydrogen bonds form between the water molecules. In the liquid phase of water, the molecules "snuggle up" to each other in the fluid. But as water goes solid, the hydrogen bonds dictate that the molecules will have to "stop snuggling" and move apart a bit as those hydrogen bonds set up spacing in the now-solid molecules. Ice has become less dense than the water that it formed from because the hydrogen bonds, which begin forming at just above 0 °C, force the molecules apart a bit to form the solid (ice) matrix.
Yes, the molecules of water in ice are arranged in a rigid and orderly structure, with each molecule held in place by hydrogen bonds. This arrangement causes the molecules to be spaced further apart compared to when water is in its liquid form.
