the molecules absorb heat and start moving rapidly changing from solid to liquid
The arrangement of water molecules start having their chemical bonds break as ice melts. Hydrogen bonds constantly form and break constantly moving everything out of position.
They are able to move freely.
Their speed - Kinetic Energy - increases as the solid melts.
It simply floats and slowly melts.
The volume of a beaker doesn't change, it's a beaker. What your were probably trying to ask is what happens to the volume of the ice when it melts. The volume decreases; water is special. Unlike other substances when it freezes it expands. That is why ice floats, it is less dense then water.
As the ice melts, the water molecules gain energy, causing them to move more quickly.
It turns into water and the molecules becomes less densely packed

they move faster
It becomes water.
It melts
When an ice cube melts, heat is transferred from the external environment to the frozen water, causing the molecules to move more quickly. The moving molecules contract, forming liquid water.
It melts
you will have 100g of liquid water!
Water freezes. Ice melts.
Rather than melts, dry ice evaporates. This process is called sublimation and happens at a slower rate than the melting of water ice.
