in the solid state of water {ice} the molecules are well orderly arranged .as thermal energy decreases the freedom for movement of molecules are affected. Thus when temperature increases the thermal energy of molecules increasesand they began to move in random motion. that is the melting of ice.

∙ 13y agoIt just has to be above freezing, but if it is just slightly, then it must br left alone
The temperature of melting ice remains steady at 0'C until all the ice is gone.

What happens when an ice cube is heated?
It will melt! But you have to add enough energy to equal the latent heat as well as to bring the ice up to the freezing point, if it is in a freezer to start it will be at about -21degC.
What happens when dry 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.
Why if you left an ice cube and salt at the sun the ice cube melts and the salt doesnt?
Because the melting temperature of the ice is 32°F and the melting temperature of the salt is 1,474°F.
How long can you keep a ice cube from melting?
Forever if you leave them in the freezer! But it melts in hours.
What happens at 32 fahrenheit?
Water freezes. Ice melts.
What happens when you sprinkle salt on an ice cube?
it melts...
What happens to the molecules in an ice cube when the ice melts?
They are able to move freely.
What happens to ice cube when you cover it with black cloth?
It melts
What happens to H20 when an ice cube melts?
turns back into h2o
What happens to an ice cube when heated?
it melts at a very fast rate
What happens if enough heat energy is given tot he ice cube?
it melts
What happens to the particles that make up an ice cube when melted?
An ice cube is just frozen water. When an ice cube melts it becomes water. Eventually, the water will evaporate.
What happens to the size of molecules when heat is applied to an ice cube in turned to steam?
the size of the ice cube decreases because it get heat and it melts
When a ice cube is a solid and it melts what is it?
When it melts it is a liquid
