Question

Some crushed ice is put in a test tube and warmed. The ice melts because its particles: A. change their size B. gain heat energy and escape C. gain heat energy and become closer D. gain heat energy and move away from their fixed positions

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is D

Explanation:

As ice melts into water, kinetic energy is being added to the particles. This causes them to be 'excited' and they break the bonds that hold them together as a solid, resulting in a change of state: solid -> liquid
