Question

What are the consequences of melting? THANKS

Answer 1

I can think of a few:

Explanation:

1. The volume of `H_2O` is decreased
2. The potential energy of the `H_2O` is increased
3. Heat must be absorbed for the ice to melt (endothermic)
4. The space between `H_2O` molecules is increased
5. The solid ice has turned into liquid `H_2O`
6. Liquid water has greater entropy or disorder than ice
