Question

The molecules of water have more energy compared to the molecules of ice at the same temperature. Justify.

Answer 1

The molecules of water have more energy as compared to molecules of ice at the same temperature, this is because,

Explanation:

1. When the molecules of the solid state are converted into the liquid state, the particles of matter are freer than being firmly packed.
2. The kinetic energy in the liquid state is considerably more compared to the solid state of matter. Since there is less intermolecular force in water it has more energy as compared to molecules of ice at the same pressure.
