Because the physical state of the compound has changed. It has changed from a solid to a liquid. If you continue to heat this liquid to 100 degrees then it will boil and turn from a liquid to a gas, another physical change. A substance that changes from a solid straight to a gas is said to have sublimed, iodine is an example of a substance that does this.

The three obvious states of matter are solid, liquid and gas, but there are many more types in modern physics/chemistry.

Is ice melting in a drink chemical or physical change?

The melting of ice in a drink is a physical change because the chemical composition of the ice (water) remains the same. The change is reversible since the ice can refreeze if cooled.

Ice melting physical or chemical?

It is a Physical Change. Melting it does not change what components/elements are found in snow. It is just a phase change from solid to liquid.


Is melting of ice a chemical change?

Is the melting of ice is a chemical or physical change why?

Melting ice is a physical change because the properties of the physical changes say that there is a physical change when the state of a material changes. the ice changes into water after melting .this is temporary change as the property says. you can change water back into ice by freezing.


How is melting sugar different from melting an ice cube?

Because melting sugar turns color to form caramel. i.e. it has changed and specifically it has undergone a CHEMICAL CHANGE (Or chemical reaction). When melting ice, no chemical reaction occurs, and so it is just a PHYSICAL CHANGE.
