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.
When ice melts the latent heat of fusion has to be supplied from the environment, which explains why ice takes a long time to melt, even when the surroundings are above the freezing point. The specific latent heat of fusion for water is 330,000 Joules/kg, or if you prefer this in BTU, 142 BTU/lb.
When ice melts, energy is added to the system in the form of heat. The heat causes the solid ice to absorb energy and transition into liquid water. This process is endothermic because it requires heat input to break the intermolecular forces holding the ice molecules together.
When ice melts, the particles of water absorb heat energy from their surroundings. This energy causes the particles to gain kinetic energy, allowing them to break free from their rigid structure and transition from a solid to a liquid state.
As ice melts, the water molecules gain kinetic energy, causing them to vibrate more rapidly and break free from the rigid crystalline structure of the solid ice. This increases the molecular motion and allows the water molecules to move more freely, transitioning from a solid to a liquid state.

The process of ice melting involves breaking the intermolecular bonds between water molecules, which requires energy input, typically in the form of heat. This added energy causes the particles of solid ice to gain kinetic energy and break away from their fixed positions, transitioning into liquid water.

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.

Transformation of ice in water is called melting.
When a cube of ice melts to form water, it undergoes a physical change. This is because the substance remains water in both states, but changes from a solid form (ice) to a liquid form (water) due to a change in temperature.
The energy absorbed by one gram of ice as it melts is known as the heat of fusion for water. This energy is required to break the intermolecular forces holding the ice molecules together and convert the solid ice into liquid water at its melting point.
When ice melts it becomes WATER!
