The entropy increases. The runny water is more disordered than the rigid ice-cube and entropy is like disorder so there is more entropy too.
Another way of looking at it is this. The ice melts because it is in a warmer room. It is natural for all things in a room to get to the same temperature. Things which happen to get back to the natural state are usually things where entropy increases.

Why is a melting ice cube a physical shape?
A melting ice cube is a physical change, because the ice cube is only changing size, shape, volume and state of matter.It's not a chemical change, because it's not changing into a different kind of matter with different properties.
Is melting ice cube a physical change?
yes
Is melting ice cube physical or chemical change physical or chemical?
Melting is a physical change.
What properties change when an ice cube melts?
melting point
Is the melting of an ice cube considered a physical change or chemical change Explain your reasoning?
The melting of an ice cube is considered both a physical change and a chemical change simply because a chemical change is something burning, so if the ice cube is cold and hot at the same time, it's both a physical change and a chemical change.
Melting an ice cube is an example of causing a change in?
It is an example of change in the state of matter.
Why is a melting ice cube a physical shape?
A melting ice cube is a physical change, because the ice cube is only changing size, shape, volume and state of matter.It's not a chemical change, because it's not changing into a different kind of matter with different properties.
How is melting sugar different from melting an ice cube?
Because melting sugar turns color to form caramel. i.e. it has changed and specifically it has undergone a CHEMICAL CHANGE (Or chemical reaction). When melting ice, no chemical reaction occurs, and so it is just a PHYSICAL CHANGE.
Is melting of ice-cube a physical change?
Yes, it's a physical change because melting ice or bowling water isn't changing the fact that it is water in different states of matter.
Is a cube of ice melting?
Yes, it's a physical change because melting ice or Bowling water isn't changing the fact that it is water in different states of matter.
Is melting ice cube a physical change?
yes
When a melting ice cube turns into water is it a physical or chemical change?
Melting is a physical change.
Is melting ice cube physical or chemical change physical or chemical?
Melting is a physical change.
Is melting of an ice cube a chemical or a physical change?
Physical
What properties change when an ice cube melts?
melting point
Does melting an ice cube prove the conservation of matter?
Yes when it is very hot
How ice cube melting is a physical change?
Because it changes from a solid shape (ice cube) to a liquid shape (Water)
