Question

When an ice cube turns from a

solid to a liquid, the particles
A. change to new molecules and become a
different substance.
B. move faster and lose their locked-in position,
C. change their color and shape because they
lose energy
D. slow down and stop moving completely.

Answer 1

The ice cube which was solid has turned into the liquid water because the air temperature is warmer than the freezers. Which means the ice particles gather heat energy from the warmer air. Therefore the ice particles have enough energy to break apart (melt)into smaller particle arrangements.

Answer 2

B

Step-by-step explanation:

When an ice cube changes phases from a solid to a liquid, this change is known as melting. When this happens, the molecules making up the substance move more freely. This also happens when a liquid turns into a gas. Hope this helps!
