Plastic water bottles can melt when hot water is placed in them due to the low melting point of the plastic material used to make the bottles, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). When the hot water comes into contact with the plastic, it can cause the polymer chains in the plastic to break, leading to melting or deformation of the bottle.
