If you mean - which has more internal energy, then water has more than the same amount (mass) of ice. Heat must be added to ice to get it to melt (turn to liquid water). Heat has to be removed from water to get to to freeze (turn to ice)

∙ 13y agoThat depends on the quantity of ice:
Thermal energy is directly proportional to:
- absolute temerature: ice < 273 K, and hot water < 373 K
- mass, quantity: ice = ?? kg , and hot water = 1 kg (use kg rather than Litres)
- state of matter: ice = solid, and hot water = liquid (more internal energy)
When comparing SAME amounts ice and water, then water (of the same temperature as ice: 273 K) has more energy (melting energy) 'in' it, hot water even more (energy to heat it up).

∙ 7y agoThat depends on how you define and measure "thermal energy". The concept is not well-defined or broadly accepted in thermodynamics because the "thermal energy" is typically assumed to refer to internal energy present in a system due to its temperature. Internal energy can be changed without changing the temperature, and there is no way to distinguish which part of the internal energy is "thermal". Instead, the appropriate thermodynamic concept when talking about something "thermal" is HEAT: defined as a transfer of energy due to differences in temperature (just as work is another type of transfer of energy). Heat and work therefore depend on the path of transfer and are not state functions, whereas internal energy is a state function. If we equate "thermal energy" with "internal energy" then we are talking a "state function" which requires that we choose the state that we will measure relative to. Altitude is a good example of a state function. We can define altitude as either the distance between the ground and an airborne item (like an airplane or balloon) or we can define altitude as the distance between sea-level and the height of the item. Depending on what we choose as "zero" we get different values. Internal energy is also dependent on total mass, so it would depend on the size of the iceberg and the size of the pool. If you chose to use 0 K as your reference point and had a very large iceberg and a very small pool, the internal energy (or "thermal energy" if we equate the two terms) of the iceberg would be greater. If you choose room temperature the iceberg will have a NEGATIVE internal energy while any pool of boiling water would have a POSITIVE internal energy (hence "more" energy). If you choose something like ice at 0°F, then the size of the two comes into play because both will be positive.

Which has the most energy particles in steam particles in liquid water particles in ice or particles in freezing water?
The particles have most energy in particles in steam. In a gas. the particles move more freely, Therefore, there is more energy in the steam. :D LOL
What substance would absorb the most heat energy with the least change in temperature water or copper?
By far it is water.
When do water molecules have the most greatest amount of energy?
Steam at 100C
The state of matter in which water molecules are most energetic?
Water as steam in the gas state has the most energy compared to water in the liquid or solid state.
Where does most of the energy that is released by the breakdown of glucose to water and Carbon Dioxide ends up where?
HEAT

How is electricity created by nuclear energy?
There are several way to create electricity from nuclear energy. The most common way is to generate heat from the controlled fission of 235U, releasing binding energy, using that to heat water to steam, and using the steam to spin turbines that drive generators.
When energy transformation most likely occurs in a steam iron?
Electrical energy changes to heat energy.
Which energy transformation most likely occurs in a steam iron?
Electrical energy changes to heat energy
Why the water cooled condensers have to be used in the water steam cycle of power plant?
Some of the heat is used to produce electricity, the rest is waste and put into the environment. Much of the energy of the heat is lost as the steam passes through the turbines, with the heat being converted to mechanical energy, and then to electrical. This accounts for about 35% to 40% of the energy of the heat, cooling it by the removal of that heat. It would be possible for residual heat to be tapped for conversion into electricity, also, but this is not done in most nuclear reactors. Converting it to electricity would get another 10% or so of the heat of the remaining steam, cooling the steam further. The remainder of the heat is waste. It is dumped into the environment, primarily into the air, by using heat exchangers and cooling towers. In this system, the steam is used to heat water, condensing in the process. The water is then used to heat air in the cooling tower. Another way to get rid of waste heat is to use heat exchangers to heat a nearby body of water, such as a lake, the ocean, or a river. This is usually done only in the summer, when the atmosphere is warm and the cooling towers are not efficient enough to do their work.
What is ordered from the least thermal energy to the most A ice to steam to water B water to ice to steam C ice to water to steam D steam to water to ice?
Ice to water to steam.
What is the source of energy in a steam engine?
The energy source in a steam engine is the heat source that converts water into steam thus creating pressure. The heat source itself can be a coal, wood, gas or petroleum burner but can also be something different like a solar panel or a nuclear reactor (most nuclear reactors are themselves steam engines-generators).
How do you convert thermal energy into motion?
The most usual way to convert thermal energy (i.e., heat) into motion is by means of a steam engine. You boil water, the steam pushes on a piston, and the piston can then move whatever it is that you want to move.
How do you harness coal energy?
Most coal is used in the production of electricity by burning the coal to heat water to power steam turbines that run generators.
Can heat be converted other types of energy?
The most common method is to convert the heat into steam and use the steam to drive mechanical devices such as engines and turbines.
Is superheated steam suitable for air heaters instead of saturated steam?
No, superheated steam gives off little energy. Most of the heat given off by steam is the latent heat of condensation as it undergoes a phase change from vapor to liquid. Superheated steam could first be "desuperheated" by adding water until it reaches the saturation point, then used for heat transfer processes.
