Question

Which statement accurately describes what happens when ice melts in terms of energy?

A. The ice releases energy which causes the water molecules to have less kinetic and potential energy, changing their configuration from solid to liquid.

B. The ice releases energy which causes chemical bonds to break, changing the ice to water.

C. The ice absorbs energy which causes chemical bonds to break, changing ice to water.

D. The ice absorbs energy which causes the water molecules to have more kinetic and potential energy, changing their configuration from a solid to a liquid.
