Small clusters of four water molecules may come together to form water bicyclo-octamers. The molecular arrangement (A) is high-density, low volume, high entropy whereas molecular arrangement (B) with additional hydrogen bonds (shown green), with 60° relative twist, is low density, high volume, low entropy.
