Question

What is melting? when an ice cube turns from a solid to a liquid, the particles

Answer 1

Answer:

Melting is the breaking of bonds between particles (atoms) due to the increase in temperature (energy).

Explanation:

When elements are in solid form, it means that the conditions they are in do not allow particles to move much, which creates stable bonds (stable bonds as in, difficult to break) between atoms.  

                                                          ↓

When the temperature increases, this atoms gain more and more energy (which makes them move) until bonds break and the transition from solid to liquid begins.

Answer 2

The ice cube which was solid has turned into the liquid water because the air temperature is warmer than the freezers. ... Therefore the ice particles have enough energy to break apart (melt)into smaller particle arrangements.
