Water in liquid form has more energy than ice, which is a solid form, because the molecules of water (H2O) are able to move freely in the liquid phase. In it's solid form, the molecules move much more slowly because they are held in place.

Why does water melt ice?

Water is "warmer" than ice. Or, to be more precise, liquid water contains more heat energy than solid water.


Why do particles of water at 0 degree Celsius has more energy than particles of ice at bthe same temperature?

Particles of water at 0 degree Celsius have more energy than particles of ice at the same temperature because water molecules in the liquid state have more freedom of movement and are able to rotate, vibrate, and translate more easily than the tightly packed molecules in a solid structure like ice. This extra movement and freedom of motion result in higher kinetic energy for the particles of water compared to the particles of ice.

Do ice and water have the same density?

no. Density of ice is more than of water...we can understand from ice sinking in water drinks... Edited by Dr.J. : How is it possible for the density of ice to be more (greater) than that of liquid water if ice FLOATS on lakes and rivers? Clearly, the density of ice is LESS than that of liquid water.


Is water or ice more dense?

Water is more dense than ice because it's molecules are closer together.


Which has the most energy particles in steam particles in liquid water particles in ice or particles in freezing water?

The particles have most energy in particles in steam. In a gas. the particles move more freely, Therefore, there is more energy in the steam. :D LOL


Does ice cold water have more eneergy than cold tap water?

The energy content of still water isolated from external energy sources is generally thermal energy, and "cold" is in actuality the absence of heat. Thus the colder the water is, the less thermal energy it contains.


Ice at 0 degree celsius is more effective in cooling than water at 0 degree celsius?

In theory, the effectiveness of the cooling process depends on the ability/capacity of the cooling element (in this case, water and ice) to absorb energy from the system, until the system goes to equilibrium.Ice is more effective than water in cooling liquids because ice needs additional energy to convert itself to water at 0ºC. Thus, it absorbs more heat from the liquid system it is in, making the liquid system cooler. In other words, ice at 0ºC is simply a "level" higher than water at 0ºC. The additional energy requirement is called "enthalpy of fusion.Simple mathematical illustration:X = Y + cwhere:X = energy that ice at 0ºC can absorb until equilibriumY = energy that water at 0ºC can absorb until equilibriumc = constant (enthalpy of fusion)Step by step mechanism is:1. Ice at negative degrees Celsius absorbs energy to make the ice temperature 0ºC2. Ice at 0ºC abosrbs energy to convert the ice to water (still at 0ºC)3. Water at 0ºC absorbs energy until the system reaches equilibriumIce at 0ºC starts on step 2 while water at 0ºC starts on step 3.. Hope it can be of help..


Why does dry ice change into a gas faster in warm water rather than cold water?

Molecules of carbon dioxide must absorb heat energy to change from solid to gas. Warm water contains more heat energy than cold water.
