It is not always that case that the ice cubes will be joined.
For example, if the experiment is conducted in a sufficiently cold environment, then the cubes will not generally be joined after merely pressing them together with the hands.
It will be necessary to conduce an experiment to see at what temperature they will fail to join. Such an experiment could start at minus 5 degrees Celsius since it seems reasonable to suppose that is cold enough.
At sufficiently high temperatures (surely room temperature but possibly much lower), the cubes will join because they are already starting to melt at the surfaces exposed to the air.
By pressing them together, the touching surfaces are no longer exposed to relatively warm air and so they are effectively cooled by the surrounding ice. If the cooling is sufficient then the melted surfaces will re-freeze. Since the surfaces are in contact with each other, they will be joined.

How do you keep ice cubes from sticking together?
To prevent ice cubes from sticking together, try shaking the ice tray before putting it in the freezer to distribute the water evenly. You can also place a piece of plastic wrap over the ice tray before freezing to create a barrier between the cubes. Alternatively, you can store the ice cubes in a freezer bag after they have frozen to prevent them from sticking together.
Can you put ice cubes in the air conditioner?
No, it is not recommended to put ice cubes in the air conditioner. The AC unit is designed to cool the air by removing heat, not by using ice cubes. Putting ice cubes in the AC can cause damage to the unit and reduce its efficiency.
What is the difference between ice and ice cubes?
Nothing. Ice cubes are ice in cube form. There are other forms of ice, including meteorological (sleet, hail, road ice, and icicles) and manufactured ice that is in blocks, crushed, shaved, or powdered.
Do salt water ice cubes take longer to melt than fresh water ice cubes?
Yes, salt water ice cubes melt more slowly than fresh water ice cubes because the addition of salt lowers the freezing point of water, requiring more energy to melt. This makes the salt water ice cubes colder and more resistant to melting.
Will square ice cubes melt faster than octagon or hexagon ice cubes?
Square ice cubes, octagon ice cubes, and hexagon ice cubes will melt at the same rate, assuming they are all the same size and made of the same material. The shape of the ice cube does not significantly impact the rate at which it melts.
Why do ice cubes stick together at times?
A cold glass of water sometimes causes water vapour from the surrounding air to condense onto the surface of the glass. The same thing happens with ice cubes, but instead the water droplets condensing on the surface, they will instantly freeze and 'weld' ice cubes together. They also can stick together if put into a drink, where again, the water in the drink near the surface of the ice cube may get cold enough to freeze and cause the ice cubes to fuse together.
Why do ice cubes stick together in the freezer?
Answering the question and the question in the details below:Ice cubes stick together because the surface of ice is liquid-like and when the ice cubes touch, the surfaces freeze together. For more background, please view the answer to "Why is ice slippery?"The following answer gives some scientific details pertaining to ice:Water freezes at 0 degrees celsius, but the ice that comes out of your freezer is much colder.From the moment you put ice into water, the water gets colder and the ice gets warmer until there is one uniform temperature and all ice has turned to water. You can imagine how if the ice were cold enough, it could freeze all the water.Two cubes of ice at say -10C would easily freeze a thin layer of cold water surrounding them before they get down to the temperature at which they begin to melt.BUT I have noticed that often cubes that are half-melted will still stick together. How can this be? If it has been shrinking, the outer layer should be in the process of melting and therefore not cold enough to freeze its surroundings. I do not know the explanation for this. Perhaps I wasn't watching closely enough. Maybe they froze together when they were larger and for some reason the connections don't melt as fast as the other parts of the ice. More experimentation needed.

How do you stop ice cubes from freezing in ice receptable from ice maker?
One way to stop ice cubes from freezing together in the ice receptacle is to make sure the ice maker is producing ice regularly. Use the ice cubes frequently to prevent them from accumulating and sticking together. You can also try shaking the ice receptacle periodically to break apart any cubes that may have frozen together.
How do you turn colourful ice cubes to white ice cubes?
Why turn them into plain clear ice cubes when u can have colorful ice cubes? colorful ice cubes are awesome
What will happen when you keep two ice cubes together?
they will become one.
Why are my ice cubes stuck in the ice maker tray?
Your ice cubes may be stuck in the ice maker tray due to a few reasons, such as the cubes being too large or the tray being overfilled. Additionally, the temperature in the freezer may be too low, causing the cubes to freeze together. It is recommended to check these factors and adjust as needed to prevent the cubes from getting stuck.
Are ice cubes water in liquid state?
Ice cubes are solid water.
What melts faster water ice cubes or soda ice cubes?
Water :)
How do make ice cubes?
Well, the general way of making ice cubes is filling ice cube trays with water and putting them in a freezer, or you can buy a fridge that has an ice cube machine to make ice cubes for you.
Why do ice cubes stick in the trays?
I have chosen not to have an icemaker with water dispenser etc... since they eventually spoil. I make my own ice cubes in traditional trays. Lately, when I twist the trays for the cubes to fall out, they stick and break up rather than fall out as before. What causes this? Are my trays getting old? I have heard suggestions of using cooking oil. How is this done? Even if you apply a light coating, won't the cubes come out with oil residues? Any comments will be appreciated. Eugenio
