Best Answer

Water and ice are two different phases, or physical states, of the same material (liquid/solid). Each has its own set of physical properties. Three examples are: density, hardness, and molecular arrangement. Each can be converted to the other by adding or removing energy.

The bonds between the molecules in liquid are fewer than those between the molecules in the solid phase. The solid has a characteristic crystalline structure.

Water is liquid ice. The only difference I can think of would be the movement of molecules. Liquid ice implies that the water is cold, so the atoms probably move about slower than that of the regular water.
