when u melt ice the hot particles transfer heat to the cold particles (ice) and the hot particles lose kinetic energy and the cold particles gain kinetic energy till the bonds relax and reaches the same temp

The particles of the solid water gain or absorb kinetic energy. This causes the ice to melt because the particles move faster and cause heat.

What happens water freezes?

it it turns into a solid and then melts right away because if it reaches 0 Celsius it reaches its freezing point which allows the particles to disintegrate and it no longer can keep freezing.

Is snow a liquid?

Not really. Snow is minute particles of ice loosely joined together, and when you pack it together hard, all the particles of ice come together and makes one big lump of ice. Another thing; If it was liquid, it would be called rain, not snow.

How does the thermal energy of solid water change as its melts?

The thermal energy of the water increases as it melts, changing from a solid (ice) to liquid water. For a solid to melt, it is necessary for it to absorb energy from its surroundings.
