The ice cube (solid) particles are compact tightly together. Yet, when the temperature of the ice cube increases then the particles become more active and begin to move apart except they are still attracted to one another.

No, it becomes a liquid when it melts.


What happens to an ice cubes particles when the ice cube is melting does the weight remains the same?

As the ice cube is solid , the particles are tightly packed together but as it melts it changes to a liquid so the particles change so that they are like particles in a liquid. the mass is conserved ( stays the same)


What happens to the particles in an ice cube as the ice melts then avaprate?

As the ice cube melts, the particles in the solid ice gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in a fixed position, allowing them to move more freely as a liquid. When the liquid water evaporates, the particles gain even more energy to break free from the liquid phase and become a gas.

What happens to the particles that make up an ice cube when melted?

When an ice cube melts, the particles that make up the ice cube (water molecules) gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in a solid structure. This causes the hydrogen bonds between the water molecules to break, allowing them to move more freely and take on a liquid form.

What happen to matter when temperature increases?

The particles start moving, and it melts. After it melts, it can evaporate if it gets to hot. For example: an ice cube


What happens if a ice cube embedded with a cork melts?

If the ice cube melts, the cork will float on the liquid water that was previously frozen as ice. Cork is less dense than water, so it will float rather than sink.
