how dose ice melt?

Question

how dose ice melt

Answer 1

as it warms the atoms gather more speed and energy and it becomes liquid

Answer 2

There are basically three states of matter: solid, liquid and gaseous. These are known as phases. When H20 turns from solid to liquid it is undergoing a phase change. The ice is absorbing heat, which is making the atoms in the crystalline structure vibrate at a higher rate. Eventually the atoms will move so violently that they will break the atomic bonds with their neighbours and the material will change from a solid (ice) to a liquid (water).

An interesting feature of this is that the temperature of the ice/water mixture will stay at zero degrees until all the ice is melted. Extra energy is used in breaking the atomic bonds. Only when all the ice has turned to water will the water temperature be able to rise.

Answer 3

water may be observed in three states, a solid, a liquid, and a semi gas. These three states are all controlled by the temperature of the water. Ice, is of course the lowest temperature, just above freezing, liquid water occurs, and above the boilng point, steam occurs. When ice is place in the warmer water, the temperature soon equilibrates to the warmer temperature, turning the solid ice into liquid water. The water doesnt change, it merely absorbs heat and changes state from a solid to a liquid. This change of state reflects the adsorbtion of energy of the ice. To explain this in greater detail, all matter evidences what is called Brownian motion. This motion reflects the inherent activity of the electorons wizzing around the nucleus of neutrons and protons of the atom in thrie wobbly orbits. Where each molecule links or shares electrons with another atom to form a compound, those orgits get wilder and wobblier the more energy (heat in this case) that is put into that compound. So the solid ice has had energy (heat) drained from its compound structure H2O, and exhibits much less Brownian motion. As more energy is absorbed, the Brownian motion increases, breaking the tightly packed H2O molecules apart to cause loosley held together liquid water. Now these molecules are still held close to one another by weaker molecular forces called Vanderwhalls forces. Add even more energy (heat) and those molecules really break off from one another, breaking down almost completely the Vanderwhalls forces and the brownian motion of these super excited molecules of water become steam and the liquid water loses all cohesion until the excess heat is lost.

Answer 4

Sir:

The second word in your question, "Dose" is correctly spelled "DOES."

As in I DO, WE DO, HE-SHE-IT DOES, THEY DO.
This may help you in the future.

Now, ICE melts as it absorbs heat. When it absorbs heat, the water molecules contract and air trapped within the frozen mass is released. The water molecules become liquid again, and the total space occupied by
the block of ice is reduced when the ice turns to water.. .

Answer 5

It gains energy that the particles use to move around and therfor create a more loosely made materiel (liquid) this is because heat energy is kinetic.

Answer 6

you put ice in a warm place where it can get sun light, wait while and you have melted ice.(it still will be cold)

Answer 7

By using copiuos amounts of Whisky with it.

Answer 8

by being warmed up to a higher than freezing temperature.

Answer 9

excited atoms produce heat thro' friction

Answer 10

Slowly - unless under a blow lamp ? why do you want to know ?
