1. At low temperatures, water molecules expand and solidify (ice),
2. As they are heated up, they melt because the molecules gain energy from the heat, and vibrate. they are now in their liquid state, with enough energy to slip past each other as apposed to evaporating or freezing.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name for the process when snow or ice changes to water?
The process when snow or ice changes to water is called melting.
What is it called when water changes from a solid directly to a gas?
Water vapor that changes in to an ice crystal is called deposition. This what happens in the formation of snow.
What is the process called when water changes from a solid into a liquid?
MELTING is the term for the process where water changes from a solid into a liquid.
When ice changes into water vapor must it melt first?
No - ice can go straight to vapor without first melting. The process is known as "sublimation".
Is melting of ice a physical process or a chemical process?
Physical. The chemical makeup of the water doesn't change, and no heat is absorbed or discharged (endo/exothermic).
What is the name for the process when snow or ice changes to water?
The process when snow or ice changes to water is called melting.
What do you call the process of ice changing to liqud water?
The process by which ice changes to liquid water is known as melting.
When ice changes into water vapor what is the process called?
sublimation
What is the process called when water changes from solid to liquid?
The name for solid water is ice. It changes to a liquid when it melts.
What is it called when ice changes to water?
When ice changes to water, it is called melting. This process occurs when the temperature of the ice rises above its melting point, causing the solid ice to turn into liquid water.
How is melting different from evaporation?
Melting is the process when a solid changes into a liquid, whereas Evaporation is the process when a liquid changes into a gaseous state E.G Melting - Ice -> Water Evaporation - Water -> Vapor MELTING- ice-gas no
What process by which water vapor changes to a solid?
The process by which water vapor changes to a solid is called deposition. This occurs when water vapor in the air changes directly into ice without passing through the liquid phase. This can happen when the temperature and pressure are low enough for the water vapor to bypass the liquid phase and form ice crystals.
What is it called when water changes from a solid directly to a gas?
Water vapor that changes in to an ice crystal is called deposition. This what happens in the formation of snow.
What is the process called when water changes from a solid into a liquid?
MELTING is the term for the process where water changes from a solid into a liquid.
What is the process that changes water to ice?
freezing,the water loses heat to the environment, becoming cooler it then changes from a liquid to a solid - a phase change.
When water cools and changes to ice does the surrounding air get cooler or warmer?
When water changes to ice, heat is released during the process, causing the surrounding air to warm up. This is because the water molecules are losing energy as they solidify into ice.
When does ice change directly into water vapour?
Ice changes directly into water vapor through the process of sublimation when the temperature and pressure are below the ice's triple point. This transition skips the liquid phase, turning solid ice directly into water vapor in a process known as sublimation.
