The water molecules in ice are more strongly attached to each other than they are when the ice is melted. That is why ice is a solid. As the ice warms up, the heat makes the molecules jiggle around more and more. When it is warm enough, the molecules cannot stay stuck to each other

like they did when they were ice. It is when they break away from each other that melting happens.

If you continue to heat the water that came from the ice, it will warm until it boils. When that happens, the molecules cannot hold on to each other at all. When they break away, they

boil off as an invisible vapor. When that vapor cools a little it makes the fog we call steam.
