Use kinetic-molecular theory to describe what happens when an ice cube or icicle melts. Include how energy is involved and what happens to the motion of the water molecules

Answer and Explanation:

The Kinetic-molecular theory describes the  behavior of matter that represents the movement of the tiny particles which we called as a molecules i.e. a atoms which is in the group in a given ratio

The molecules which are in the solids i.e. ice cubes are very near to each other and contains a movement that is very limited. Also their translation speed is zero but the forces i.e. intermolecular is high

In the case when a solid melts i.e. the cubes of an ice convert into a water so the molecules should be separate due to which the forces of intermolecular reduced. If the forces of intermolecular is high so it is sufficient to prevent the molecular movement in an independent way

the answer is definitely c.

thats a little if u want the answer just look it up on google thats what i do haha : )
