Question

Choose the correct answer from the following. The conversion of ice into water is an example of _____.

• A. melting
• B. freezing
• C. condensation
• D. sublimation

Answer 1

The correct option is A

melting

Explanation of the correct answer:

The correct answer is option A:

• One instance of melting is the transformation of ice into water.
• The ice would absorb energy from the warmer air around them if you removed it from the freezer and put it in a warm environment.
• They would be able to escape the fixed position they held as ice thanks to the energy they had absorbed, which would help them defeat the force of attraction binding them together.
• Melting is the process through which solids transform into liquids.
• The temperature at which solids turn into liquids is known as the melting point.

Explanation of the incorrect answers:

Option B:

1. When a liquid's temperature drops below its freezing point, a phase shift known as freezing, often referred to as solidification occurs.

Option C:

1. Condensation, which is the opposite of vaporization, is the transformation of matter from its gaseous state into its liquid state.

Option D:

1. Without going through the liquid stage, sublimation is the process by which material moves straight from the solid to the gas state.

Hence, option A is correct, i.e., melting.
