The ice particles have less energy.
why?
When water is in solid form as ice, the molecules have less energy and are more closely packed together compared to water vapor. As the ice melts and boils, the water molecules gain energy and move more freely, resulting in the formation of water vapor. The transition from solid ice to water vapor involves an increase in energy and movement of the water molecules.
