Answer:

When water becomes ice, the temperature drops causing the water molecules to slow down and the distance between them increases, forming hydrogen bonds between them. However, there is still air present within the ice structure due to the fact that the hydrogen bonds cannot fill all the space between the water molecules, creating small pockets of air or voids within the ice structure.
