882-619: A density between a quarter and two thirds that of pure ice, due to a high proportion of trapped air, which also makes soft rime appear white. Hard rime is denser, more transparent, and more likely to appear on ships and aircraft. Cold wind specifically causes what is known as advection frost when it collides with objects. When it occurs on plants, it often causes damage to them. Various methods exist to protect agricultural crops from frost - from simply covering them to using wind machines. In recent decades, irrigation sprinklers have been calibrated to spray just enough water to preemptively create
1008-410: A few molecules in the droplet need to get together by chance to form an arrangement similar to that in an ice lattice; then the droplet freezes around this "nucleus". Experiments show that this "homogeneous" nucleation of cloud droplets only occurs at temperatures lower than −35 °C (238 K; −31 °F). In warmer clouds an aerosol particle or "ice nucleus" must be present in (or in contact with)
1134-689: A form of precipitation consisting of small, translucent balls of ice, which are usually smaller than hailstones. This form of precipitation is also referred to as "sleet" by the United States National Weather Service . (In British English "sleet" refers to a mixture of rain and snow .) Ice pellets typically form alongside freezing rain, when a wet warm front ends up between colder and drier atmospheric layers. There, raindrops would both freeze and shrink in size due to evaporative cooling. So-called snow pellets, or graupel , form when multiple water droplets freeze onto snowflakes until
1260-555: A function of temperature and sliding speed. 2014 research suggests that frictional heating is the most important process under most typical conditions. The term that collectively describes all of the parts of the Earth's surface where water is in frozen form is the cryosphere . Ice is an important component of the global climate, particularly in regard to the water cycle. Glaciers and snowpacks are an important storage mechanism for fresh water; over time, they may sublimate or melt. Snowmelt

Hail forms in strong thunderstorm clouds, particularly those with intense updrafts, high liquid water content, great vertical extent, large water droplets, and where a good portion of the cloud layer is below freezing 0 °C (32 °F). Hail-producing clouds are often identifiable by their green coloration. The growth rate

#17328772294741512-434: A hydrogen atom tends to combine with other atoms in compounds, or with another hydrogen atom to form ordinary ( diatomic ) hydrogen gas, H 2 . "Atomic hydrogen" and "hydrogen atom" in ordinary English use have overlapping, yet distinct, meanings. For example, a water molecule contains two hydrogen atoms, but does not contain atomic hydrogen (which would refer to isolated hydrogen atoms). Atomic spectroscopy shows that there
1638-577: A key role in Earth's water cycle and climate . In the recent decades, ice volume on Earth has been decreasing due to climate change . The largest declines have occurred in the Arctic and in the mountains located outside of the polar regions. The loss of grounded ice (as opposed to floating sea ice ) is the primary contributor to sea level rise . Humans have been using ice for various purposes for thousands of years. Some historic structures designed to hold ice to provide cooling are over 2,000 years old. Before
1764-419: A layer of ice that would form slowly and so avoid a sudden temperature shock to the plant, and not be so thick as to cause damage with its weight. Ablation of ice refers to both its melting and its dissolution . The melting of ice entails the breaking of hydrogen bonds between the water molecules. The ordering of the molecules in the solid breaks down to a less ordered state and the solid melts to become
1890-456: A liquid. This is achieved by increasing the internal energy of the ice beyond the melting point . When ice melts it absorbs as much energy as would be required to heat an equivalent amount of water by 80 °C. While melting, the temperature of the ice surface remains constant at 0 °C. The rate of the melting process depends on the efficiency of the energy exchange process. An ice surface in fresh water melts solely by free convection with
2016-436: A low speed. Ice forms on calm water from the shores, a thin layer spreading across the surface, and then downward. Ice on lakes is generally four types: primary, secondary, superimposed and agglomerate. Primary ice forms first. Secondary ice forms below the primary ice in a direction parallel to the direction of the heat flow. Superimposed ice forms on top of the ice surface from rain or water which seeps up through cracks in
2142-581: A naturally occurring crystalline inorganic solid with an ordered structure, ice is considered to be a mineral . Depending on the presence of impurities such as particles of soil or bubbles of air , it can appear transparent or a more or less opaque bluish-white color. Virtually all of the ice on Earth is of a hexagonal crystalline structure denoted as ice I h (spoken as "ice one h"). Depending on temperature and pressure, at least nineteen phases ( packing geometries ) can exist. The most common phase transition to ice I h occurs when liquid water
2268-399: A proton for the usual isotope, is written as "H " and sometimes called hydron . Free protons are common in the interstellar medium , and solar wind . In the context of aqueous solutions of classical Brønsted–Lowry acids , such as hydrochloric acid , it is actually hydronium , H 3 O , that is meant. Instead of a literal ionized single hydrogen atom being formed, the acid transfers
2394-505: A rate that depends linearly on the water temperature, T ∞ , when T ∞ is less than 3.98 °C, and superlinearly when T ∞ is equal to or greater than 3.98 °C, with the rate being proportional to (T ∞ − 3.98 °C) , with α = 5 / 3 for T ∞ much greater than 8 °C, and α = 4 / 3 for in between temperatures T ∞ . In salty ambient conditions, dissolution rather than melting often causes
2520-487: A single oxygen atom covalently bonded to two hydrogen atoms , or H–O–H. However, many of the physical properties of water and ice are controlled by the formation of hydrogen bonds between adjacent oxygen and hydrogen atoms; while it is a weak bond, it is nonetheless critical in controlling the structure of both water and ice. An unusual property of water is that its solid form—ice frozen at atmospheric pressure —is approximately 8.3% less dense than its liquid form; this
2646-464: A small correction to the energy obtained by Bohr and Schrödinger as given above. The factor in square brackets in the last expression is nearly one; the extra term arises from relativistic effects (for details, see #Features going beyond the Schrödinger solution ). It is worth noting that this expression was first obtained by A. Sommerfeld in 1916 based on the relativistic version of the old Bohr theory . Sommerfeld has however used different notation for

#17328772294742772-746: A soft ball-like shape is formed. So-called " diamond dust ", (METAR code IC ) also known as ice needles or ice crystals, forms at temperatures approaching −40 °C (−40 °F) due to air with slightly higher moisture from aloft mixing with colder, surface-based air. As water drips and re-freezes, it can form hanging icicles , or stalagmite -like structures on the ground. On sloped roofs, buildup of ice can produce an ice dam , which stops melt water from draining properly and potentially leads to damaging leaks. More generally, water vapor depositing onto surfaces due to high relative humidity and then freezing results in various forms of atmospheric icing , or frost . Inside buildings, this can be seen as ice on
2898-471: A temperature of −78.5 °C (−109.3 °F), the vaporization point of solid carbon dioxide (dry ice). Most liquids under increased pressure freeze at higher temperatures because the pressure helps to hold the molecules together. However, the strong hydrogen bonds in water make it different: for some pressures higher than 1 atm (0.10 MPa), water freezes at a temperature below 0 °C (32 °F). Ice, water, and water vapour can coexist at
3024-574: A thin surface layer, which makes it particularly hazardous to walk across it. Another dangerous form of rotten ice to traverse on foot is candle ice, which develops in columns perpendicular to the surface of a lake. Because it lacks a firm horizontal structure, a person who has fallen through has nothing to hold onto to pull themselves out. Snow crystals form when tiny supercooled cloud droplets (about 10 μm in diameter) freeze . These droplets are able to remain liquid at temperatures lower than −18 °C (255 K; 0 °F), because to freeze,
3150-503: A velocity equal to the electron velocity relative to the nucleus. However, since the nucleus is much heavier than the electron, the electron mass and reduced mass are nearly the same.

3528-763: Is Planck constant over 2 π {\displaystyle 2\pi } . He also supposed that the centripetal force which keeps the electron in its orbit is provided by the Coulomb force , and that energy is conserved. Bohr derived the energy of each orbit of the hydrogen atom to be: E n = − m e e 4 2 ( 4 π ε 0 ) 2 ℏ 2 1 n 2 , {\displaystyle E_{n}=-{\frac {m_{e}e^{4}}{2(4\pi \varepsilon _{0})^{2}\hbar ^{2}}}{\frac {1}{n^{2}}},} where m e {\displaystyle m_{e}}

3780-442: Is a basic cause of freeze-thaw weathering of rock in nature and damage to building foundations and roadways from frost heaving . It is also a common cause of the flooding of houses when water pipes burst due to the pressure of expanding water when it freezes. Because ice is less dense than liquid water, it floats, and this prevents bottom-up freezing of the bodies of water. Instead, a sheltered environment for animal and plant life
3906-475: Is a discrete infinite set of states in which a hydrogen (or any) atom can exist, contrary to the predictions of classical physics . Attempts to develop a theoretical understanding of the states of the hydrogen atom have been important to the history of quantum mechanics , since all other atoms can be roughly understood by knowing in detail about this simplest atomic structure. The most abundant isotope , protium ( H), or light hydrogen, contains no neutrons and

4032-427: Is abundant on the Earth's surface, particularly in the polar regions and above the snow line , where it can aggregate from snow to form glaciers and ice sheets . As snowflakes and hail , ice is a common form of precipitation , and it may also be deposited directly by water vapor as frost . The transition from ice to water is melting and from ice directly to water vapor is sublimation . These processes plays

The electrically neutral hydrogen atom contains a nucleus of a single positively charged proton and a single negatively charged electron bound to the nucleus by the Coulomb force . Atomic hydrogen constitutes about 75% of the baryonic mass of the universe. In everyday life on Earth, isolated hydrogen atoms (called "atomic hydrogen") are extremely rare. Instead,

Clathrate hydrates are forms of ice that contain gas molecules trapped within its crystal lattice. Ice that is found at sea may be in the form of drift ice floating in the water, fast ice fixed to a shoreline or anchor ice if attached to

It is related to the Rydberg constant R ∞ {\displaystyle R_{\infty }} of atomic physics by 1 Ry ≡ h c R ∞ . {\displaystyle 1\,{\text{Ry}}\equiv hcR_{\infty }.} The exact value of the Rydberg constant assumes that the nucleus is infinitely massive with respect to
4536-498: Is cooled below 0 °C ( 273.15 K , 32 °F ) at standard atmospheric pressure . When water is cooled rapidly ( quenching ), up to three types of amorphous ice can form. Interstellar ice is overwhelmingly low-density amorphous ice (LDA), which likely makes LDA ice the most abundant type in the universe. When cooled slowly, correlated proton tunneling occurs below −253.15 °C ( 20 K , −423.67 °F ) giving rise to macroscopic quantum phenomena . Ice
4662-490: Is divided into four categories: pore ice, vein ice (also known as ice wedges), buried surface ice and intrasedimental ice (from the freezing of underground waters). One example of ice formation in permafrost areas is aufeis - layered ice that forms in Arctic and subarctic stream valleys. Ice, frozen in the stream bed, blocks normal groundwater discharge, and causes the local water table to rise, resulting in water discharge on top of
4788-435: Is equivalent to a volumetric expansion of 9%. The density of ice is 0.9167 –0.9168 g/cm at 0 °C and standard atmospheric pressure (101,325 Pa), whereas water has a density of 0.9998 –0.999863 g/cm at the same temperature and pressure. Liquid water is densest, essentially 1.00 g/cm , at 4 °C and begins to lose its density as the water molecules begin to form the hexagonal crystals of ice as
4914-484: Is extremely rare otherwise. Even icy moons like Ganymede are expected to mainly consist of other crystalline forms of ice. Water in the interstellar medium is dominated by amorphous ice, making it likely the most common form of water in the universe. Low-density ASW (LDA), also known as hyperquenched glassy water, may be responsible for noctilucent clouds on Earth and is usually formed by deposition of water vapor in cold or vacuum conditions. High-density ASW (HDA)
5040-484: Is formed beneath the floating ice, which protects the underside from short-term weather extremes such as wind chill . Sufficiently thin floating ice allows light to pass through, supporting the photosynthesis of bacterial and algal colonies. When sea water freezes, the ice is riddled with brine-filled channels which sustain sympagic organisms such as bacteria, algae, copepods and annelids . In turn, they provide food for animals such as krill and specialized fish like
5166-452: Is formed by compression of ordinary ice I h or LDA at GPa pressures. Very-high-density ASW (VHDA) is HDA slightly warmed to 160 K under 1–2 GPa pressures. Ice from a theorized superionic water may possess two crystalline structures. At pressures in excess of 500,000 bars (7,300,000 psi) such superionic ice would take on a body-centered cubic structure. However, at pressures in excess of 1,000,000 bars (15,000,000 psi)

For this reason, hail is most common within continental interiors of the mid-latitudes, as hail formation is considerably more likely when the freezing level is below the altitude of 11,000 feet (3,400 m). Entrainment of dry air into strong thunderstorms over continents can increase

Heavier isotopes of hydrogen are only created artificially in particle accelerators and have half-lives on the order of 10 seconds. They are unbound resonances located beyond the neutron drip line ; this results in prompt emission of a neutron . The formulas below are valid for all three isotopes of hydrogen, but slightly different values of

On the other hand, active wave activity can reduce sea ice to small, regularly shaped pieces, known as pancake ice . Sometimes, wind and wave activity "polishes" sea ice to perfectly spherical pieces known as ice eggs . The largest ice formations on Earth are

Due to angular momentum conservation, states of

Since absorption is cumulative, the color effect intensifies with increasing thickness or if internal reflections cause the light to take a longer path through the ice. Other colors can appear in the presence of light absorbing impurities, where the impurity is dictating the color rather than

For deuterium and tritium, the ratios are about 1/3670 and 1/5497 respectively. These figures, when added to 1 in the denominator, represent very small corrections in the value of R , and thus only small corrections to all energy levels in corresponding hydrogen isotopes.

Sommerfeld introduced two additional degrees of freedom, allowing an electron to move on an elliptical orbit characterized by its eccentricity and declination with respect to a chosen axis. This introduced two additional quantum numbers, which correspond to the orbital angular momentum and its projection on the chosen axis. Thus the correct multiplicity of states (except for
8694-424: The Bohr picture of an electron orbiting the nucleus at radius a 0 {\displaystyle a_{0}} corresponds to the most probable radius. Actually, there is a finite probability that the electron may be found at any place r {\displaystyle r} , with the probability indicated by the square of the wavefunction. Since the probability of finding the electron somewhere in
8820-407: The Schrödinger equation is only valid for non-relativistic quantum mechanics, the solutions it yields for the hydrogen atom are not entirely correct. The Dirac equation of relativistic quantum theory improves these solutions (see below). The solution of the Schrödinger equation (wave equation) for the hydrogen atom uses the fact that the Coulomb potential produced by the nucleus is isotropic (it
8946-615: The United States, with a combined value of shipments of $ 595,487,000. Home refrigerators can also make ice with a built in icemaker , which will typically make ice cubes or crushed ice. The first such device was presented in 1965 by Frigidaire . Ice forming on roads is a common winter hazard, and black ice particularly dangerous because it is very difficult to see. It is both very transparent, and often forms specifically in shaded (and therefore cooler and darker) areas, i.e. beneath overpasses . Hydrogen atom A hydrogen atom
9072-469: The ablation of ice. For example, the temperature of the Arctic Ocean is generally below the melting point of ablating sea ice. The phase transition from solid to liquid is achieved by mixing salt and water molecules, similar to the dissolution of sugar in water, even though the water temperature is far below the melting point of the sugar. However, the dissolution rate is limited by salt concentration and
9198-419: The base) made of a specific type of mortar called sarooj made from sand, clay, egg whites, lime, goat hair, and ash. The mortar was resistant to heat transfer, helping to keep the ice cool enough not to melt; it was also impenetrable by water. Yakhchals often included a qanat and a system of windcatchers that could lower internal temperatures to frigid levels, even during the heat of the summer. One use for

9450-588: The development of quantum mechanics . In 1913, Niels Bohr obtained the energy levels and spectral frequencies of the hydrogen atom after making a number of simple assumptions in order to correct the failed classical model. The assumptions included: Bohr supposed that the electron's angular momentum is quantized with possible values: L = n ℏ {\displaystyle L=n\hbar } where n = 1 , 2 , 3 , … {\displaystyle n=1,2,3,\ldots } and ℏ {\displaystyle \hbar }
9576-648: The directional quantization of the angular momentum vector is immaterial: an orbital of given ℓ {\displaystyle \ell } and m ′ {\displaystyle m'} obtained for another preferred axis z ′ {\displaystyle z'} can always be represented as a suitable superposition of the various states of different m {\displaystyle m} (but same ℓ {\displaystyle \ell } ) that have been obtained for z {\displaystyle z} . In 1928, Paul Dirac found an equation that
9702-427: The droplet to act as a nucleus. Our understanding of what particles make efficient ice nuclei is poor – what we do know is they are very rare compared to that cloud condensation nuclei on which liquid droplets form. Clays, desert dust and biological particles may be effective, although to what extent is unclear. Artificial nuclei are used in cloud seeding . The droplet then grows by condensation of water vapor onto
9828-457: The electron's spin angular momentum along the z {\displaystyle z} -axis, which can take on two values. Therefore, any eigenstate of the electron in the hydrogen atom is described fully by four quantum numbers. According to the usual rules of quantum mechanics, the actual state of the electron may be any superposition of these states. This explains also why the choice of z {\displaystyle z} -axis for
9954-420: The electron. For hydrogen-1, hydrogen-2 ( deuterium ), and hydrogen-3 ( tritium ) which have finite mass, the constant must be slightly modified to use the reduced mass of the system, rather than simply the mass of the electron. This includes the kinetic energy of the nucleus in the problem, because the total (electron plus nuclear) kinetic energy is equivalent to the kinetic energy of the reduced mass moving with
10080-439: The factor 2 accounting for the yet unknown electron spin) was found. Further, by applying special relativity to the elliptic orbits, Sommerfeld succeeded in deriving the correct expression for the fine structure of hydrogen spectra (which happens to be exactly the same as in the most elaborate Dirac theory). However, some observed phenomena, such as the anomalous Zeeman effect , remained unexplained. These issues were resolved with
10206-713: The first order, giving more confidence to a theory that used quantized values. For n = 1 {\displaystyle n=1} , the value m e e 4 2 ( 4 π ε 0 ) 2 ℏ 2 = m e e 4 8 h 2 ε 0 2 = 1 Ry = 13.605 693 122 994 ( 26 ) eV {\displaystyle {\frac {m_{e}e^{4}}{2(4\pi \varepsilon _{0})^{2}\hbar ^{2}}}={\frac {m_{\text{e}}e^{4}}{8h^{2}\varepsilon _{0}^{2}}}=1\,{\text{Ry}}=13.605\;693\;122\;994(26)\,{\text{eV}}}
10332-489: The framework of the Bohr–Sommerfeld theory), and in both theories the main shortcomings result from the absence of the electron spin. It was the complete failure of the Bohr–Sommerfeld theory to explain many-electron systems (such as helium atom or hydrogen molecule) which demonstrated its inadequacy in describing quantum phenomena. The Schrödinger equation is the standard quantum-mechanics model; it allows one to calculate
10458-449: The freezing point is reached. This is due to hydrogen bonding dominating the intermolecular forces, which results in a packing of molecules less compact in the solid. The density of ice increases slightly with decreasing temperature and has a value of 0.9340 g/cm at −180 °C (93 K). When water freezes, it increases in volume (about 9% for fresh water). The effect of expansion during freezing can be dramatic, and ice expansion
10584-465: The frequency of hail by promoting evaporative cooling which lowers the freezing level of thunderstorm clouds giving hail a larger volume to grow in. Accordingly, hail is actually less common in the tropics despite a much higher frequency of thunderstorms than in the mid-latitudes because the atmosphere over the tropics tends to be warmer over a much greater depth. Hail in the tropics occurs mainly at higher elevations. Ice pellets ( METAR code PL ) are
10710-534: The frozen layer. This water then freezes, causing the water table to rise further and repeat the cycle. The result is a stratified ice deposit, often several meters thick. Snow line and snow fields are two related concepts, in that snow fields accumulate on top of and ablate away to the equilibrium point (the snow line) in an ice deposit. Ice which forms on moving water tends to be less uniform and stable than ice which forms on calm water. Ice jams (sometimes called "ice dams"), when broken chunks of ice pile up, are
10836-475: The full development of quantum mechanics and the Dirac equation . It is often alleged that the Schrödinger equation is superior to the Bohr–Sommerfeld theory in describing hydrogen atom. This is not the case, as most of the results of both approaches coincide or are very close (a remarkable exception is the problem of hydrogen atom in crossed electric and magnetic fields, which cannot be self-consistently solved in
10962-450: The generalized Laguerre polynomials are defined differently by different authors. The usage here is consistent with the definitions used by Messiah, and Mathematica. In other places, the Laguerre polynomial includes a factor of ( n + ℓ ) ! {\displaystyle (n+\ell )!} , or the generalized Laguerre polynomial appearing in the hydrogen wave function
11088-636: The greatest ice hazard on rivers. Ice jams can cause flooding, damage structures in or near the river, and damage vessels on the river. Ice jams can cause some hydropower industrial facilities to completely shut down. An ice dam is a blockage from the movement of a glacier which may produce a proglacial lake . Heavy ice flows in rivers can also damage vessels and require the use of an icebreaker vessel to keep navigation possible. Ice discs are circular formations of ice floating on river water. They form within eddy currents , and their position results in asymmetric melting, which makes them continuously rotate at

11340-499: The hailstones to the upper part of the cloud. The updraft dissipates and the hailstones fall down, back into the updraft, and are lifted up again. Hail has a diameter of 5 millimetres (0.20 in) or more. Within METAR code, GR is used to indicate larger hail, of a diameter of at least 6.4 millimetres (0.25 in) and GS for smaller. Stones of 19 millimetres (0.75 in), 25 millimetres (1.0 in) and 44 millimetres (1.75 in) are
11466-446: The hydrogen to H 2 O, forming H 3 O . If instead a hydrogen atom gains a second electron, it becomes an anion. The hydrogen anion is written as "H " and called hydride . The hydrogen atom has special significance in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory as a simple two-body problem physical system which has yielded many simple analytical solutions in closed-form. Experiments by Ernest Rutherford in 1909 showed
11592-464: The ice exerted by any object. However, the significance of this hypothesis is disputed by experiments showing a high coefficient of friction for ice using atomic force microscopy . Thus, the mechanism controlling the frictional properties of ice is still an active area of scientific study. A comprehensive theory of ice friction must take into account all of the aforementioned mechanisms to estimate friction coefficient of ice against various materials as
11718-429: The ice itself. For instance, icebergs containing impurities (e.g., sediments, algae, air bubbles) can appear brown, grey or green. Because ice in natural environments is usually close to its melting temperature, its hardness shows pronounced temperature variations. At its melting point, ice has a Mohs hardness of 2 or less, but the hardness increases to about 4 at a temperature of −44 °C (−47 °F) and to 6 at
11844-456: The ice layer is caused by friction. However, this theory does not sufficiently explain why ice is slippery when standing still even at below-zero temperatures. Subsequent research suggested that ice molecules at the interface cannot properly bond with the molecules of the mass of ice beneath (and thus are free to move like molecules of liquid water). These molecules remain in a semi-liquid state, providing lubrication regardless of pressure against
11970-471: The ice surfaces. Ice storm is a type of winter storm characterized by freezing rain , which produces a glaze of ice on surfaces, including roads and power lines . In the United States, a quarter of winter weather events produce glaze ice, and utilities need to be prepared to minimize damages. Hail forms in storm clouds when supercooled water droplets freeze on contact with condensation nuclei , such as dust or dirt . The storm's updraft blows
12096-474: The ice was to create chilled treats for royalty. There were thriving industries in 16th–17th century England whereby low-lying areas along the Thames Estuary were flooded during the winter, and ice harvested in carts and stored inter-seasonally in insulated wooden houses as a provision to an icehouse often located in large country houses, and widely used to keep fish fresh when caught in distant waters. This
12222-416: The ice which often settles when loaded with snow. An ice shove occurs when ice movement, caused by ice expansion and/or wind action, occurs to the extent that ice pushes onto the shores of lakes, often displacing sediment that makes up the shoreline. Shelf ice is formed when floating pieces of ice are driven by the wind piling up on the windward shore. This kind of ice may contain large air pockets under
12348-603: The ice, would melt a thin layer, providing sufficient lubrication for the blade to glide across the ice. Yet, 1939 research by Frank P. Bowden and T. P. Hughes found that skaters would experience a lot more friction than they actually do if it were the only explanation. Further, the optimum temperature for figure skating is −5.5 °C (22 °F; 268 K) and −9 °C (16 °F; 264 K) for hockey; yet, according to pressure melting theory, skating below −4 °C (25 °F; 269 K) would be outright impossible. Instead, Bowden and Hughes argued that heating and melting of
12474-427: The invention of refrigeration technology, the only way to safely store food without modifying it through preservatives was to use ice. Sufficiently solid surface ice makes waterways accessible to land transport during winter, and dedicated ice roads may be maintained. Ice also plays a major role in winter sports . Ice possesses a regular crystalline structure based on the molecule of water, which consists of
12600-515: The known exceptions being ice X) can be recovered at ambient pressure and low temperature in metastable form. The types are differentiated by their crystalline structure, proton ordering, and density. There are also two metastable phases of ice under pressure, both fully hydrogen-disordered; these are Ice IV and Ice XII. Ice XII was discovered in 1996. In 2006, Ice XIII and Ice XIV were discovered. Ices XI, XIII, and XIV are hydrogen-ordered forms of ices I h , V, and XII respectively. In 2009, ice XV
12726-495: The large number of glaciers it contains. They cover an area of around 80,000 km (31,000 sq mi), and have a combined volume of between 3,000-4,700 km . These glaciers are nicknamed "Asian water towers", because their meltwater run-off feeds into rivers which provide water for an estimated two billion people. Permafrost refers to soil or underwater sediment which continuously remains below 0 °C (32 °F) for two years or more. The ice within permafrost
12852-473: The magnitude of the angular momentum. The magnetic quantum number m = − ℓ , … , + ℓ {\displaystyle m=-\ell ,\ldots ,+\ell } determines the projection of the angular momentum on the (arbitrarily chosen) z {\displaystyle z} -axis. In addition to mathematical expressions for total angular momentum and angular momentum projection of wavefunctions, an expression for
12978-517: The most frequently reported hail sizes in North America. Hailstones can grow to 15 centimetres (6 in) and weigh more than 0.5 kilograms (1.1 lb). In large hailstones, latent heat released by further freezing may melt the outer shell of the hailstone. The hailstone then may undergo 'wet growth', where the liquid outer shell collects other smaller hailstones. The hailstone gains an ice layer and grows increasingly larger with each ascent. Once

13230-514: The process to an even older author, Ibn Bakhtawayhi, of whom nothing is known. Ice is now produced on an industrial scale, for uses including food storage and processing, chemical manufacturing, concrete mixing and curing, and consumer or packaged ice. Most commercial icemakers produce three basic types of fragmentary ice: flake, tubular and plate, using a variety of techniques. Large batch ice makers can produce up to 75 tons of ice per day. In 2002, there were 426 commercial ice-making companies in
13356-527: The quantum numbers. The image to the right shows the first few hydrogen atom orbitals (energy eigenfunctions). These are cross-sections of the probability density that are color-coded (black represents zero density and white represents the highest density). The angular momentum (orbital) quantum number ℓ is denoted in each column, using the usual spectroscopic letter code ( s means ℓ = 0, p means ℓ = 1, d means ℓ = 2). The main (principal) quantum number n (= 1, 2, 3, ...)
13482-487: The radial dependence of the wave functions must be found. It is only here that the details of the 1 / r {\displaystyle 1/r} Coulomb potential enter (leading to Laguerre polynomials in r {\displaystyle r} ). This leads to a third quantum number, the principal quantum number n = 1 , 2 , 3 , … {\displaystyle n=1,2,3,\ldots } . The principal quantum number in hydrogen
13608-417: The same ℓ {\displaystyle \ell } but different m {\displaystyle m} have the same energy (this holds for all problems with rotational symmetry ). In addition, for the hydrogen atom, states of the same n {\displaystyle n} but different ℓ {\displaystyle \ell } are also degenerate (i.e., they have
13734-452: The same energy and are known as the 2 s {\displaystyle 2\mathrm {s} } and 2 p {\displaystyle 2\mathrm {p} } states. There is one 2 s {\displaystyle 2\mathrm {s} } state: ψ 2 , 0 , 0 = 1 4 2 π a 0 3 / 2 ( 2 − r
13860-410: The same energy). However, this is a specific property of hydrogen and is no longer true for more complicated atoms which have an (effective) potential differing from the form 1 / r {\displaystyle 1/r} (due to the presence of the inner electrons shielding the nucleus potential). Taking into account the spin of the electron adds a last quantum number, the projection of
13986-425: The seafloor. Ice which calves (breaks off) from an ice shelf or a coastal glacier may become an iceberg. The aftermath of calving events produces a loose mixture of snow and ice known as Ice mélange . Sea ice forms in several stages. At first, small, millimeter-scale crystals accumulate on the water surface in what is known as frazil ice . As they become somewhat larger and more consistent in shape and cover,

14238-453: The stationary states and also the time evolution of quantum systems. Exact analytical answers are available for the nonrelativistic hydrogen atom. Before we go to present a formal account, here we give an elementary overview. Given that the hydrogen atom contains a nucleus and an electron, quantum mechanics allows one to predict the probability of finding the electron at any given radial distance r {\displaystyle r} . It
14364-440: The structure may shift to a more stable face-centered cubic lattice. It is speculated that superionic ice could compose the interior of ice giants such as Uranus and Neptune. Ice is " slippery " because it has a low coefficient of friction. This subject was first scientifically investigated in the 19th century. The preferred explanation at the time was " pressure melting " -i.e. the blade of an ice skate, upon exerting pressure on
14490-476: The structure of the atom to be a dense, positive nucleus with a tenuous negative charge cloud around it. This immediately raised questions about how such a system could be stable. Classical electromagnetism had shown that any accelerating charge radiates energy, as shown by the Larmor formula . If the electron is assumed to orbit in a perfect circle and radiates energy continuously, the electron would rapidly spiral into
14616-688: The summer. The advent of artificial refrigeration technology made the delivery of ice obsolete. Ice is still harvested for ice and snow sculpture events . For example, a swing saw is used to get ice for the Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival each year from the frozen surface of the Songhua River . The earliest known written process to artificially make ice is by the 13th-century writings of Arab historian Ibn Abu Usaybia in his book Kitab Uyun al-anba fi tabaqat-al-atibba concerning medicine in which Ibn Abu Usaybia attributes
14742-443: The surface of un-insulated windows. Hoar frost is common in the environment, particularly in the low-lying areas such as valleys . In Antarctica, the temperatures can be so low that electrostatic attraction is increased to the point hoarfrost on snow sticks together when blown by wind into tumbleweed -like balls known as yukimarimo . Sometimes, drops of water crystallize on cold objects as rime instead of glaze. Soft rime has
14868-441: The thermal energy (temperature) only after enough hydrogen bonds are broken that the ice can be considered liquid water. The amount of energy consumed in breaking hydrogen bonds in the transition from ice to water is known as the heat of fusion . As with water, ice absorbs light at the red end of the spectrum preferentially as the result of an overtone of an oxygen–hydrogen (O–H) bond stretch. Compared with water, this absorption
14994-827: The time-independent Schrödinger equation, ignoring all spin-coupling interactions and using the reduced mass μ = m e M / ( m e + M ) {\displaystyle \mu =m_{e}M/(m_{e}+M)} , the equation is written as: ( − ℏ 2 2 μ ∇ 2 − e 2 4 π ε 0 r ) ψ ( r , θ , φ ) = E ψ ( r , θ , φ ) {\displaystyle \left(-{\frac {\hbar ^{2}}{2\mu }}\nabla ^{2}-{\frac {e^{2}}{4\pi \varepsilon _{0}r}}\right)\psi (r,\theta ,\varphi )=E\psi (r,\theta ,\varphi )} Expanding

These ice sheets have an average thickness of over 1 km (0.6 mi) and have existed for millions of years. Other major ice formations on land include ice caps , ice fields , ice streams and glaciers . In particular, the Hindu Kush region is known as the Earth's "Third Pole" due to
15246-433: The water surface begins to look "oily" from above, so this stage is called grease ice . Then, ice continues to clump together, and solidify into flat cohesive pieces known as ice floes . Ice floes are the basic building blocks of sea ice cover, and their horizontal size (defined as half of their diameter ) varies dramatically, with the smallest measured in centimeters and the largest in hundreds of kilometers. An area which
15372-529: The whole volume is unity, the integral of P ( r ) d r {\displaystyle P(r)\,\mathrm {d} r} is unity. Then we say that the wavefunction is properly normalized. As discussed below, the ground state 1 s {\displaystyle 1\mathrm {s} } is also indicated by the quantum numbers ( n = 1 , ℓ = 0 , m = 0 ) {\displaystyle (n=1,\ell =0,m=0)} . The second lowest energy states, just above
15498-452: Was allegedly copied by an Englishman who had seen the same activity in China. Ice was imported into England from Norway on a considerable scale as early as 1823. In the United States, the first cargo of ice was sent from New York City to Charleston, South Carolina , in 1799, and by the first half of the 19th century, ice harvesting had become a big business. Frederic Tudor , who became known as
15624-411: Was found at extremely high pressures and −143 °C. At even higher pressures, ice is predicted to become a metal ; this has been variously estimated to occur at 1.55 TPa or 5.62 TPa. As well as crystalline forms, solid water can exist in amorphous states as amorphous solid water (ASW) of varying densities. In outer space, hexagonal crystalline ice is present in the ice volcanoes , but
15750-464: Was fully compatible with special relativity , and (as a consequence) made the wave function a 4-component " Dirac spinor " including "up" and "down" spin components, with both positive and "negative" energy (or matter and antimatter). The solution to this equation gave the following results, more accurate than the Schrödinger solution. The energy levels of hydrogen, including fine structure (excluding Lamb shift and hyperfine structure ), are given by
15876-500: Was supplied from Bavarian lakes. From 1930s and up until 1994, the Hungarian Parliament building used ice harvested in the winter from Lake Balaton for air conditioning. Ice houses were used to store ice formed in the winter, to make ice available all year long, and an early type of refrigerator known as an icebox was cooled using a block of ice placed inside it. Many cities had a regular ice delivery service during
