Water and ice are two different phases, or physical states, of the same material (liquid/solid). Each has its own set of physical properties. Three examples are: density, hardness, and molecular arrangement. Each can be converted to the other by adding or removing energy.

The bonds between the molecules in liquid are fewer than those between the molecules in the solid phase. The solid has a characteristic crystalline structure.

What is the different between ice and water?

Ice is the solid form of water, while water is the liquid form. Ice has a crystalline structure with molecules that are more tightly packed, whereas water molecules in liquid form are more loosely packed and free to move around.

Are ice cubes in liquid water a heterogeneous mixture?

No, ice cubes in liquid water are considered a homogeneous mixture because they form a single phase with uniform composition throughout, despite the presence of two different states of water (solid ice and liquid water).


Is ice cubes floating in water a compound?

How is water different to most substances when it is at freezing point?

Water expands when it freezes. Ice is lighter and denser than liquid water. Ice Floats! Most substances get denser when they turn from liquid to solid.
