The ice needs to absorb heat energy in order to melt. This energy is stored in the water as a type of potential energy (it requires a force, and therefore energy, to separate the water molecules). When the water freezes, this potential energy is returned once again.

What happens to water molecules as ice melts in terms of kinetic molecular thery?
As the ice melts, the water molecules gain energy, causing them to move more quickly.
How do you change solid water to liquid and liquid water to gas?
You can change both of these by increasing or decreasing the speed of the molecules (kinetic energy), or by increasing or decreasing the heat applied (thermal energy). If you want to melt ice, you can increase the kinetic energy by increasing the thermal energy. The opposite occurs if you want to freeze water.
What happens to water vapor when energy is taken away?
If enough energy is taken away from water vapour, it will condense to form water (in liquid form). This is because a gaseous state requires more energy than a liquid state (and a liquid state requires more energy than a solid state).
What happens if you add or remove energy to a glass of water?
if you add it will stay liquid but if you remove it will freeze
What happens to the energy used to evaporate water?
It goes into the molecules of water vapour, which are more energetic than those of liquid water
What happens to water when it changes back from ice into a liquid?
It melts
What happens when 100gram's of ice melts?
you will have 100g of liquid water!
How does the thermal energy of solid water change as its melts?
The thermal energy of the water increases as it melts, changing from a solid (ice) to liquid water. For a solid to melt, it is necessary for it to absorb energy from its surroundings.
How the thermal energy of solid water change as it melts?
The thermal energy of the water increases as it melts, changing from a solid (ice) to liquid water. For a solid to melt, it is necessary for it to absorb energy from its surroundings.
What happens to ice when placed in a cup of liquid water?
It simply floats and slowly melts.
What happens to the energy level of solid water as it become liquid water?
The things that happens to the energy level of solid as it become liquid water is that the liquid has more energy than solid do. Simple as that! BY: ANONYMOUS :)
Does water liquid or juice melts the fastest?
Water liquid melts faster because denisty of juice is more compared to water. Hence the Water liquid melts sooner.
What happens to water molecules as ice melts in terms of kinetic molecular thery?
As the ice melts, the water molecules gain energy, causing them to move more quickly.
How does thermal energy of solid water change as its melting?
The thermal energy of the water increases as it melts, changing from a solid (ice) to liquid water. For a solid to melt, it is necessary for it to absorb energy from its surroundings.
What ice is when it melts?
Liquid phase: liquid water
Describe the role of energy when ice melts and when vapor condences to form liquid water?
When water molecules melt, energy is absorbed. When water molecules evaporate, energy is also absorbed. When water molecules condense energy is released. When water molecules freeze energy is also released.
How does water changes from solid to liquid?
water is a solid then it melts now it is a liquid
