Frozen water (ice) is a solid. when ice melts the water molecules gain kinetic energy and are able to break free of their rigid hydrogen bonding. This is the definition of a liquid!!! The order goes from most to least kinetic energy; plasma, gas, liquid, solid, absolute zero. Before the ice is to be melted that is called potential energy.
