Question

14. Which of the following happens when ice melts?

A. Energy flows from the ice to its surroundings
B. Water molecules move from their fixed position.
C. Water molecules lose energy
D. The temperature of the ice increases as it melts

Answer 1

D is correct because when something melts, energy is thrown into it causing it to heat up and lose its shape

Answer 2

B. water molecules move from their fixed position. Ice is the solid form of water. Water molecules loses their kinetic energy and remain fixed when ice is formed. When ice gains energy in the form of heat it melts. the heat energy is changed into kenetic energy. Thus the water molecules will become free from their fixed position and move when ice melts.
