How does the speed of molecules change when ice change to water?

Their speed - Kinetic Energy - increases as the solid melts.


When water changes to ice the link up of atoms does or does not change?

The bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms of individual water molecules do not change when liquid water changes to ice. This is a physical change called freezing, and does not cause any chemical changes to occur. Only chemical changes can cause changes in chemical bonds.

Is water turning to snow a chemical or physical change?

Changes of state are physical changes.


How does the volume of a kilogram of water when change when it freezes?

it changes because when it freezes, the molecules within the water slows down thus changing the placement of it, which also changes the over size or volume of water.


How come water doesnt change as it melts from solid to liquid water?

Water does change as it melts from a solid to liquid. That's the change. Its molecules speed up and separate from the lattice structure structure of the ice and become fluid. This is called a physical change because the water molecules themselves do not undergo a change. Solid water and liquid water are still water.If you're talking about temperature, the temperature does not change during the phase change. That's because the heat energy is being used to remove water molecules from the lattice structure. Once all of the water molecules a separated, the temperature can increase.


Is mixing lemonade powder into water a chemical or physical change?

Mixing lemonade powder into water is a chemical change. This is because the powder changes the water molecules and can not be taken out.


Does water molecules speed up or slow down when water vapor returns to the liquid water s?

Condensation. The transformation of water vapours in liquid water is called condensation, a change of phase.


When water is heated does the size of the water molecules decrease?

For the small change of temperature between where water exists as a liquid and as a gas the molecules will stay the same size. What changes is the speed the molecules are moving at. Hotter is faster. When moving fast enough (having absorbed enough energy) the molecules break away from the liquid to become water vapour.


What conversion do water molecules lose speed?

When water goes from a gas to a liquid, or a liquid to a solid, the water molecules have lower kinetic energy, and therefore they lose speed.


How can molecules of water change?

They cannot and they do not change.
