Frozen water (ice) is a solid. when ice melts the water molecules gain kinetic energy and are able to break free of their rigid hydrogen bonding. This is the definition of a liquid!!! The order goes from most to least kinetic energy; plasma, gas, liquid, solid, absolute zero. Before the ice is to be melted that is called potential energy.

∙ 14y agoMelting of ice is a physical change known as a phase change from solid to liquid. In this process, the ice molecules gain enough thermal energy to break free from their fixed positions and move more freely, resulting in the ice turning into water.
When ice melts and gains energy, it undergoes a phase change from solid to liquid. This process is known as melting or fusion.
Yes, ice melting is a physical change.
When ice melts, it undergoes a physical change, not a chemical change. The molecules in the ice are still the same water molecules, but they are transitioning from a solid state to a liquid state.
No, it's a physical change, ice is just frozen water.It's a physical change because when ice melts into water, the compound of the ice stays the same, it just changes state.
A physical change only. Its still ice. Even if it melts to water, its still a physical change.Crushing something would result in a physical change.

Physical Change
When ice melts, it is changing its state of matter, and is therefore a physical change.

It is a physical change.
The melting of ice to form water is a physical change. It involves a change in state from solid to liquid, but the chemical composition of the substance remains the same.
A type of change in which the form of matter is changed to another form is called a physical change. Thus the chemical change does not occur, but only a physical change occurs in it. Example: When ice melts into water When water is boiled, and it changes into water vapor.
A physical change only. Its still ice. Even if it melts to water, its still a physical change.Crushing something would result in a physical change.
When a cube of ice melts to form water, it undergoes a physical change. This is because the substance remains water in both states, but changes from a solid form (ice) to a liquid form (water) due to a change in temperature.
Physical because none of its chemical property's are not changed. Its still ice, just melted
