When a liquid changes to the solid state, the molecules slow down so that they only vibrate in place and can no longer flow like a liquid.
The internal energy of the item increases, and the molecules become less ordered.
When molecules change from a liquid to a solid, they lose energy and begin to move more slowly. As the temperature decreases, the molecules arrange themselves into a more ordered and fixed structure, resulting in a solid state. This transition reduces the freedom of movement significantly, causing the molecules to vibrate in place rather than move freely as they do in a liquid.
During a phase change from solid snow to liquid water, the snow molecules absorb heat energy and gain enough kinetic energy to break their bonds and transition into liquid form. This process is called melting.
The solid separates down to the molecular level - and they mix with the water molecules. We cannot see molecules with the naked eye !
Melting solid ice into liquid water is a physical change. It involves a phase change from solid to liquid without altering the chemical composition of water molecules.
the denseness of the molecules change(compact=solid, really far=gas, in the middle=liquid)

This change in the state of matter (liquid to solid) is called freezing; it is a physical change, the chemical nature of the molecules is not changed.

As the molecules in a body move with increased speed, i.e. increasing kinetic energy, it is possible that the body will change from the solid phase to the liquid phase, or the liquid phase to the gas phase, and in some cases from the solid directly to the gas phase.
A change from gas to liquid, from solid to liquid, from liquid to gas, etc.
The solid separates down to the molecular level - and they mix with the water molecules. We cannot see molecules with the naked eye !
