Yes, I am sure. As ice melts, the solid state is converted to the liquid state. This occurs because the molecules in the ice gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in a fixed, organized arrangement. As a result, the molecules become more mobile and are able to move around freely, leading to the melting of the ice.
