Question

when a substance such as ice melts, its temperature increases. desrcibe what happens to the arrangment of water molecules as the temperature increases

Answer 1

Explanation:

The water molecules begins to leave their fixed position and begins to move as the temperature increases.

When ice melts, it undergoes a state change from solid to liquid and with increasing temperature becomes a gas.

• The basis for this is the increasing movement of the molecules of the water as it transitions from one phase to another.
• In the ice, the molecules are locked and fixed in the lattice
• As the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the particles rises.
• This makes the structure of the ice to collapse and forms liquids.
• By the virtue of this, they flow and move over one another
• With increasing temperature, the bonds are broken and vapor forms
