Represent diagrammatically the changes in the arrangement of particles as ice melts and transforms into water vapour.

Show answer Hide answer
Answer
Particles spread out more at each step.

Explanation

Stage Particle arrangement
Ice (solid) Tightly packed, fixed positions.
Water (liquid) A little farther apart, moving around.
Water vapour (gas) Widely spaced, free to move everywhere.
As ice melts and vaporises, particles move from tightly packed to free and widely spaced.
