Abstract

Networks of the hydrogen bonds and those consisting of lines connecting nearby molecules were constructed using configurations of water molecules obtained by the Monte-Carlo method. The concentrations of closed cycles of hydrogen bonds were established to be determined only by the probability of hydrogen bond formation. Characteristics of a model ideal water network were determined. Topological properties of the Polk model and those of the network of nearest neighbors substantially differ from the properties of the ideal network. The totality of the hydrogen bonds in pure water was proposed to be considered as a hierarchical system. Three topologically different structures of water associates were determined.
