What occurs as ice melts?

Answer 1

The kinetic energy of the water molecules increases, causing the solid ice to melt into liquid water. During the process of melting, the water temperature remains constant. After all the ice has melted, and if heat energy continues to be absorbed, the temperature will increase.

Answer 2

When ice melts, it goes from a solid to a liquid, and turns into water. A higher temperature causes the H2O molecules become exited and vibrate more. The bonds between H2O molecule to become insufficient and allows the molecules to roll over one another. There is still attraction between molecules and this is what prevents a gas forming

Answer 3

As ice melts, it transforms from a solid state to a liquid state. This is achieved when the kinetic energy of the particles increases enough to break the hydrogen bonds that hold the ice lattice together. The melting process absorbs heat energy from the surroundings, causing the ice to change phase into water.

Answer 4

it's compounds separate and that makes the cube melt.

Answer 5

The energy used to melt the ice stays in the liquid water. For water to remain a liquid it needs to keep this energy. If it lost the energy, it would turn back into ice.

Answer 6

The water converts from its solid form to a liquid form. With a slight loss to gas form due to evaporation.

Answer 7

They contract and take up less space than the ice.

Answer 8

The water turns to vapor.
