Melting ice is a physical change because the properties of the physical changes say that there is a physical change when the state of a material changes.
the ice changes into water after melting .this is temporary change as the property says.
you can change water back into ice by freezing.

∙ 14y agoThe process of ice melting is considered a physical change instead of a chemical change because the composition of the substance does not change. With the addition of heat to the substance, the H2O, in the form of ice, undergoes what is called a "phase change," which is the transformation of a solid to a liquid to a gas. Therefore, since the substance still remains to be H2O, it is considered to undergo a physical change.

Wiki User
∙ 12y agoIt is a physical change because the molecules haven't changed. It's still H2O, whether in liquid or solid form.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoBecause the chemical formula of water is not changed.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoBecause the chemical formula of water remain unchanged.

When a cube of ice melts to form a puddle of water a physical or chemical change?
It is a physical change.
The defroster melts the frost on the windshield Is this physical change or chemical change?
This is an example of a change in the physical states of Matter. These states-of-Matter are: Solid, Liquid, Gas and the Newest and Latest and most energetic State - Plasma. Frost is a special 'case' because it does not Condense [vapor to liquid], it Sublimes - water [in this case] vapor crystallizing [directly] to the Solid - bypassing the liquid phase.
Is production of steam a chemical or physical change?
The change from liquid water to steam is a physical change in the state of matter. Evaporation is the term for a liquid becoming a gas.
Is gasoline evaporating a chemical or physical change?
Physical change if I am correct.It will be a different form than the original.In your basic science classes you learned that if you for ex. have water as a solid,liquid and gas they are all the same thing because if solid ice=ice melts that means water,that if it is a liquid it is in its original state and that if it is a gas then it evaporates.The change is physical due to the appearance of it and the form it takes just changing.If a chemical reaction were to take place you would feel heat,sparks,etc.Hope this helps.
When an ice cube melts it is still water?
Water vapour, liquid water and frozen water (ice) are ALL water, just in different physical states.
Is when ice turns into liquid water?
A physical change of freezing (or solidification)
When water melts from an ice cube this is an example of a physical change The water changes from a?
It changes from a solid to a liquid.
When a cube of ice melts to form a puddle of water is it a physical change?
Yes. No chemical change has taken place, only a physical change. It can be undone (liquid water can be re-frozen)
When ice melts into water is that a physical or chemical change?
Physical Change
Is ice melting a chemical change?
No, it's a physical change, ice is just frozen water.It's a physical change because when ice melts into water, the compound of the ice stays the same, it just changes state.
When ice melts and becomes water has a chemical change taken place?
No. That's because it is still water whether it is in the form of a solid or liquid. A physical change occurs when there is a change in the state of matter only.
Why is change in state of matter a physical change?
water frezzes and melts
When a cube of ice melts to form a puddle of water a chemical or physical change?
It is a physical change.
When a cube of ice melts to form a puddle of water is it a physical or chemical change?
physical change
When a cube of ice melts to form a puddle of water a physical or chemical change?
It is a physical change.
Where do molecules go when ice melts?
The melting of ice is a change of phase, from solid to liquid, a physical processus. The molecules of water (H2O) remain unchanged during the change of phase.
