The main difference is that ice water molecules have very low kinetic energy, i.e. they don't move very fast, compared to warm water molecules. The other difference is in the intermolecular forces holding the molecules together. They are greater in ice than in warm water.

What will have more molecules 1 liter of water or 1 liter of ice?
The lower the temperature, the more close the molecules will be. Therefore the will be less molecules in ice than in water. So water will have more molecules per litre.
Why water expands on solidification?
due to hydrogen bonding bettween water molecules.
How is heat transferred when a person holds a ice pack?
Heat will travel from the person's hand into the ice pack, where it will excite the molecules there and warm the ice pack.
What is the phase of the ice molecules?
Ice is a molecule of water (H2O) in the solid phase.
What happens to water molecules as ice melts in terms of kinetic molecular thery?
As the ice melts, the water molecules gain energy, causing them to move more quickly.
How do the molecules in solids liquids gases differ?
The molecules remain identical (for example ice, water, vapors).
How liquid water ice and vapor differ from each other?
They are made of different kinds of molecules.
Why should a cup with warm water spread food dye faster than ice water?
Molecules in warm water are moving faster than those in the colder water.
How do the molecules in rain differ from the molecules in ice?
Rain is liquid Ice is solid. with water when you cool it (slow the molecules) it expands (which is unique to water) becoming a solid crystal, and since it expands its mass per volume ratio has changed making it less dense then liquid water.
Why does ice melt in warm water?
ice melts in warm water because ice is slow moving molecules so slow they practically vibrate wen heat is added is like Coffee it wakes them up and energizes them cousing them to melt into a liquid
How do liquid ice How do liquid water ice and water vapor differ from each other?
They are made of different kinds of molecules.
Where does the heat go when you add a warm substance to ice in a warm room?
Heat is not a "thing," it is not transferred from object to object. Instead, when an object is cold, its molecules vibrate slower than when it is warm. When a warm object comes in contact with ice, the fast-moving molecules of the warm object transfer some energy to the ice. This is why the ice warms up, and the warm object cools off (due to losing some of its molecules' energy).
Do water molecules ionize when they freeze?
No, the ice molecules in ice are not ionized.
Are the molecules in ice packed more tightly than the molecules in water?
Compared to a solid object's molecules no. Unless the water is ice. Water molecules are more compact than gaseous molecules.
Do molecules of ice have less mass than the molecules of water?
Mass is just "the amount of stuff there is". We can measure it in kg. If I have 4kg ice and 4kg water, then the answer is "no", but I could just as easily have 4kg of ice and 5kg water, in which case the answer is "yes". If you mean "does freezing water make it heavier?", then the answer is no - 4kg water makes 4kg ice, and they will weigh the same. However, ice has a greater volume than water*, so freezing water will make it expand. *This is not true for every liquid/solid combo.
When water turns to ice are new molecules formed?
No, when water turns to ice, no new molecules are formed. The molecules in water rearrange themselves into a crystal lattice structure when they freeze, but the individual water molecules remain the same.
How does ice differ from water?
Water is liquid, ice is solid. Water is usually warmer than ice.
