Solution:

(i) Ice formed by heavy water sinks in normal water due to higher density of $D_{2}O$ than normal water.

(ii) $6 \text{CO}_{2} + \, 6 \text{H}_{2} \text{O} \rightarrow _{\text{chlorophyll}}^{\text{hv}} \text{C}_{\text{6}} \text{H}_{\text{12}} \text{O}_{\text{6}} \text{+6O}_{\text{2}}$

(iii) Water can show amphiprotic nature and hence water can act both as an acid a base.

Solution

(iv) There is extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the condensed phase instead of intramolecular H - bonding.
