Describe the structure of the common form of ice.
(N/A) Ice has a highly ordered three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded structure.
Examination of ice crystals with $X$-rays shows that each oxygen atom is surrounded tetrahedrally by four other oxygen atoms at a distance of $276 \text{ pm}$.
Hydrogen bonding gives ice a rather open-type structure with wide holes. These holes can hold some other molecules of appropriate size interstitially.
