When ice melts, the ice molecules gain energy from their surroundings and their bonds weaken. This causes the molecules to vibrate more and move further apart, transitioning from a solid state to a liquid state.

What is the difference between the water from melted ice and the ice itself?

The water from melted ice is in liquid form, while ice itself is in solid form. The water molecules in liquid water have more energy and are able to move more freely compared to the tightly packed ice molecules.


What happens to the hydrogen bonds when water is melted?

Nothing. Hydrogen bonds are very strong. When ice is melted, only weak intermolecular forces of attraction that exist between H2O molecules will be broken.


What happens when you heat ice and sodium chloride?

Ice is melted over 0 0C and salt is melted over 801 0C.


What happens to molecules when you crush ice?

when you crush ice the molecules/particles get more compact.


What happens to the molecules of a substance when it is melted?

the molecules vibrate, faster and faster as the heat increases then they become disordered


What happens when you put ice cream in the refrigerator what happens to the molecules and the energy?

the molecules freeze and it turns to the freezing point


Why does melted ice has low friction?

Melted ice has low friction because the water molecules act as a lubricant between the surfaces, reducing the resistance to motion. The thin layer of water on the surface of melted ice forms a slippery surface, making it easier for objects to slide across it with less friction.


Why does the ice inside the container melt after sometime?

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.


What happens to the molecules when a solid is melted?

When a solid is melted, the molecules gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them together in a rigid structure. As a result, the molecules move more freely and take on a more disordered arrangement, transitioning from a solid to a liquid state.


What happens to molecules in the outermost layer of ice when you hold it in your hand?

These molecules are transformed in a liquid.


What happens to the ice while in the freezer?

The molecules start to freeze and it becomes solid ice


Can you eat melted ice?

No, because melted ice is water - you drink water.
