Q. Assertion :When liquid water is cooled, it contracts until a temperature of approximately 4 degrees Celsius is reached. After that, it expands slightly until it reaches the freezing point. Reason: The distance between the H-O bond is more than the O-O attraction in the water. Hence, the water freezing over into ice is held together not by the O-O attraction but by the H-O attraction.
