Question

b) Water molecules move from their fixed positions.
c)Energy flows from the ice to its surroundings.

Answer 1

a is true. I do feel that c is false. but b is also true

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is (b) Water molecules move from their fixed positions.

Explanation:

• When water solidifies (or freezes) and becomes ice, its molecules get tightly packed and gain an orderly arrangement.
• Upon melting, ice starts to turn into a liquid state.
• This causes molecules to loosen up and move away from each other. They lose their fixed positions in doing so.
• The molecules can slide past each other.
