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.
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)
They stay right in the salt shaker where they are suppose to be.
As the ice cube melts, the particles in the solid ice gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in a fixed position, allowing them to move more freely as a liquid. When the liquid water evaporates, the particles gain even more energy to break free from the liquid phase and become a gas.
In an ice cube there are tighter and closer particles since ice cubes are a solid.But, a glass of WATER, meaning a liquid, doesn't have particles that close, maybejust a little apart. That's how they differ. Go to Sciencesource.ca for more informationon particle theory. Choose grade 7, and proceed.Additional response:They are colder.
