The last piece sticks because it normally has some time to melt. The thing that you need to understand is that a water molecule is unequally electronegative. The hydrogen end of a water molecule is slightly positive, and the oxygen end is slightly negative. Therefore, the hydrogen side of one molecule tends to form a weak bond with the oxygen side of another molecule. These bonds (called hydrogen bonds) tend to hold water molecules together. Another affect of the unequal charges, is that the water tends to stick to other things with any kind of unequal charge. In short, the last piece of ice sticks to the bottom of the glass because of the cohesive and adhesive properties of water.

because its at the bottom and it freezes the water to the bottom of the cup which is frozen to the ice.... but that doesn't always happen

If it didn't stick then how would it plop you in the face when you hit the bottom of the cup?

thats the ice that was put in the cup the first, and its more to the bottom, so it freezes faster

DUDE, that always pisses me off.....then when you try to shake it out, you just look like a retard shaking your cup in the air and it falls out of the cup and hits you in the face.

i've got self belief it has something to do with molecular bonding and the properties of H2O in its stable state inspite of the undeniable fact that I dont experience like thinking too complicated this night so thats all the heads up i provides you. wish it enables.

OMG I HATE THAT ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HITS U IN THE FACE!!! Umm i thnk its the water property of Adhesion- the ability of water to stick to other objects.
