Is there ice 9 on earth?

If it so much as touches a drop of regular water, that will freeze, too, and so on, spreading so rapidly that it freezes everything that comes into contact with it. Fortunately for Earth, Ice-Nine doesn't exist. But there is an exotic form of ice dubbed "ice VII" that physicists can create in the laboratory.

What happens if you touch ice 9?

Because ice-nine crystals could spontaneously convert normal water into more ice-nine, the material was dangerous—just licking it would cause all the water in a person's body to freeze solid.

Do you know about Ice 9?

Ice IX is a form of solid water stable at temperatures below 140 K or -133.15 C and pressures between 200 and 400 MPa. It has a tetragonal crystal lattice and a density of 1.16 g/cm3, 26% higher than ordinary ice. It is formed by cooling ice III from 208 K to 165 K (rapidly—to avoid forming ice II).

What does ice-nine mean?

Ice-nine is a fictional material appearing in Kurt Vonnegut's novel Cat's Cradle. Ice-nine is supposedly a polymorph of water more stable than common ice; instead of melting at 0 °C, it melts at 45.8 °C.

Who invented ice 9?

Ice-nine is a fictional material. It was invented by author Kurt Vonnegut in his novel, Cat's Cradle. Ice-nine was a special type of ice that would freeze at higher temperatures than normal ice.

What is Ice 9 in Cat's Cradle?

Ice-nine is an alternative structure of water that is solid at room temperature and acts as a seed crystal upon contact with ordinary liquid water, causing that liquid water to instantly freeze and transform into more ice-nine.

Can you make ice 12?

Pure ice XII can be created from ice Ih at 77 K (−196.2 °C; −321.1 °F) by rapid compression (0.81-1.00 GPa/min) or by warming high density amorphous ice at pressures between 0.8 to 1.6 gigapascals (7,900 to 15,800 atm).

Can ice 7 be made?

Ice VII can be formed within nanoseconds by rapid compression via shock-waves. It can also be created by increasing the pressure on ice VI at ambient temperature. At around 5 GPa, Ice VII becomes the tetragonal Ice VIIt. Like the majority of ice phases (including ice Ih), the hydrogen atom positions are disordered.

Is black ice black?

Black ice, sometimes called clear ice, is a thin coating of glaze ice on a surface, especially on roads. The ice itself is not black, but visually transparent, allowing the often black road below to be seen through it.

How do you make ice 2?

Ice II is a rhombohedral crystalline form of ice with a highly ordered structure. It is formed from ice Ih by compressing it at a temperature of 198 K at 300 MPa or by decompressing ice V. When heated it undergoes transformation to ice III.

Why is ice hexagonal?

Water molecules in the solid state, such as in ice and snow, form weak bonds (called hydrogen bonds) to one another. These ordered arrangements result in the basic symmetrical, hexagonal shape of the snowflake.
