Question

Describe what happens yo water particles when ice melts.

Answer 1

The particles or atoms change in speed and distance with each state. For a Solid, the particles are really close together and only vibrate in place. For a Liquid they are more spread apart and they vibrate and bounce off each other because there is more room- there are also less particles than a solid. For a gas the particles are very spread out and are bouncing around like bullets there are a lot fewer particles.

So for Melted Ice (water) It is a liquid, so the particles have space in between them to move a little bit, and there are not as many particles because of that extra space.

Answer 2

When the ice starts melting, so do the molecules because when the ice melts we know molecules move around a lot when they're in water. The more the ice melts, the more the ice molecules get energy to move around.
