Question on: JAMB Physics - 2020
In what range of temperature is the expansion of water anomalous?
A
+208\(^o\)C to +212\(^o\)C
B
-80\(^o\)C + -76\(^o\)C
C
0\(^o\)C to +4\(^o\)C
D
-4\(^o\)C to +0\(^o\)C

Correct Option: C
Water exhibits anomalous expansion between 0°C and 4°C. This means that instead of expanding as its temperature increases, water contracts in this temperature range. This is due to the formation of hydrogen bonds and the unique structure of ice.
