Ice cream is certainly not a gas; it exists in a consistency that many would define as "semisolid". Normally, when cream is frozen, it becomes completely solid, forming a single, solid crystalline matrix of slow-moving polar water molecules. This is what happens to ice cream when it is placed in a freezer after it melts. As this texture is undesirable, ice cream is given a creamy texture through the process of churning -- while the cream is being frozen, it is stirred so that, instead of forming into one big solid ice crystal, the water in the cream forms several small ice crystals, which results in the soft, solid treat that ice cream lovers enjoy.

Why is ammonia gas used for making ice in ice factories?

Ammonia gas is used in ice factories because it has excellent heat-absorbing properties when it undergoes a phase change from gas to liquid, making it an efficient refrigerant. By circulating ammonia gas in a closed system, heat is absorbed from the surroundings, leading to a decrease in temperature and the formation of ice.

wierd question but..... the particles start to absorb energy from the sun which enables them to move around more so they can change from a soild to a liquid. it gose down the cone because of the gravitaional force actin on it!
