Ice particles are held together by strong hydrogen bonds. Water molecules in ice lattice structures are connected by these hydrogen bonds, which are bonds between the hydrogen atoms of one water molecule and the oxygen atoms of neighboring water molecules. This bond network gives ice its solid and stable structure.

How tightly are the particles held together in solids?
In solids, particles are tightly held together in a fixed arrangement, leading to a definite shape and volume. The strong intermolecular forces between particles prevent them from moving freely, resulting in a rigid structure.
Are gas particles held more tightly than liquid particles?
No, gas particles are not held more tightly than liquid particles. In a gas, particles have more kinetic energy and are free to move around more compared to the relatively closer and more ordered arrangement of particles in a liquid.
What happens to an ice cubes particles when the ice cube is melting does the weight remains the same?
As the ice cube is solid , the particles are tightly packed together but as it melts it changes to a liquid so the particles change so that they are like particles in a liquid. the mass is conserved ( stays the same)
Which matter are particles held rigidly?
Particles are held together rigidly in solids due to strong intermolecular forces and the fixed arrangement of particles. The particles in solids are closely packed and do not move around freely, resulting in a fixed shape and volume for the solid material.
What happens to the particles in an ice cube as it boils?
As the ice cube boils, the particles gain energy, breaking the intermolecular forces holding them together. This causes the particles to move more freely, transitioning from a solid to a liquid state.
