Liquid is much more tangible than ice if that's what your asking....

What is the property that liquid and gases share?
They both have an indefinite shape. For examples. If you fart in a closed room, and you then open the door, the gas is going to exit out of the door, giving it no definite shape. Another ex. for liquid= If you have water in a cube, and you pour that water in a cylinder, it will take form of the cylinder, giving it any shape(indefinite shape). -6th grader
Is there an recipe for an ice cube?
Water + confined square container + temperatures below freezing point = ice cube
When water melts from a ice cube it changes from a?
from a solid into a liquid.
Is it possible for two atoms of the same element to have different chemical properties?
Yes. In the case of isotopes of water. An H2O ice cube is shown to float in a beaker of liquid water, while an ice cube of D2O (heavy water) is shown to sink in liquid water.
Can an ice cube dissolve in water?
No. ICE is the solid form of WATER. Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and it becomes ice. The cube is just the shape of it, it's not important chemically.
Why liquid water takes the shape of its container but ice cube does not?

Why does liquid takes the shape of a container but an ice cube does not?
It's because an icecube is a solid. Unless if it's melted, it will stay as a solid (cube shape)
Why does liquid water take the shape of a sphere?
cube
What does it mean to say that a liquid has a denfinite volume but no denfinite shape?
It means that you can measure the volume of the liquid but you cannot measure the dimensions of it because it will take the dimensions of the container it is in. Example: glass of water - liquid - you can measure how much water is there ice cube - water - solid - you can also measure the dimensions and size of the cube
Why does liquid water take the shape of its container when an ice cube does not?
as the ice cube has changed it sate theparticles have moved closer together. and if the ice was not frozen in the cup then it would not fill the whole area.
How ice cube melting is a physical change?
Because it changes from a solid shape (ice cube) to a liquid shape (Water)
Why does liquid water take the shape of the cup but solid ice cubes do not?
An ice cube is a solid. This means that its molecules hold tightly together and it retains its shape.Water is a liquid. This means that its molecules are loosely bonded together, and gravity can pull them down. When it does, the molecules will spread out to fill the shape of the container they are in.
What is the volume formula for liquid?
Depending on the shape of the container for the liquid, you can find the volume different ways. If the container is a cube, the volume is (base * Width * height). if the container is a cylinder, the volume is (PI * Radius2 * height). The answer you would get from these equations is expressed in units cubed (example: cm3).
A cube is a container that holds liquids?
An example of a cube that can hold liquid is an ice tray. An ice tray is made up of several cubes. Water is poured into these cubes then frozen to help cool drinks.
How do ice cube form in the freezer?
the freezing tempeture in the freezer will make water into ice. a liquid has no definite shape or form. in that case, get something squared, put water in it, and freeze it. a solid has a definite shape and form.
What is the property that liquid and gases share?

Three examples of physical changes are?
liquid to solid, solid to liquid, gas to liquid that sort of thing
