Stacy is studying the movement of water molecules as ice changes from a solid to liquid water. Which statement best describes the changes
in the movement of the water molecules as heat causes the ice to melt?
The molecules in the solid stay tightly connected and do not move. As heat is added,
the molecules in the liquid move far apart and do not interact.
The molecules in the solid move freely around one another and do not interact. As
heat is added, the molecules are pushed closer together and begin to interact with
one another
The molecules in the solid are in a rigid structure and vibrate in place. As the ice
melts, the molecules in the liquid move more freely but are still attracted to each
other

The molecules in the solid are unmoving in a rigid lattice. As the ice melts, the
molecules start to vibrate, and then release from the lattice structure, moving
freely as they drift farther apart to form a liquid.
