The answer depends on what the solid is: ice, a hydrate crystal, or something else.
You are talking about crystalline solids.

the molecules in water have more energy and so will break down the solids quicker
Yes, substances can have fixed arrangements of atoms, particularly in solids where atoms are organized in a structured lattice or repeating pattern. In crystalline solids, this arrangement is highly ordered and consistent throughout the material. In contrast, liquids and gases have more disordered arrangements, with atoms or molecules moving freely and not maintaining a fixed structure.
The molecules remain identical (for example ice, water, vapors).
Some examples of solids that dissolve are sugar, salt, and baking soda. Solids dissolve when their molecules break apart and mix with the molecules of a solvent, such as water. This process occurs due to the attractive forces between the solute and solvent molecules.
Not all solids dissolve in water. Solubility depends on the chemical structure of the solid and its interaction with water molecules. Solids like sugar and salt are considered soluble in water, while substances like sand and oil are insoluble.
Regular three dimensional arrangements.
Hot water molecules move faster and have greater energy, which allows them to break apart bonds between molecules more easily. This increased kinetic energy makes it easier for solids to dissolve in the water. In contrast, cold water molecules move more slowly and have less energy, making it more difficult for solids to dissolve.
Different molecules have different arrangements.
When placed in water, ionic solids will dissolve as the water molecules surround and separate the ions from the solid lattice. This results in the ions dispersing throughout the water, forming an aqueous solution.
No, H2O (water) is not considered an isomer. Isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements. Water does not have other structural arrangements that would make it an isomer of itself.
