The correct response is:
The ice particles have less energy.
Ice is a solid with particles that are closely packed and have less kinetic energy, while water vapor is a gas where the particles have much more energy and move freely.
Reggie puts a beaker of ice and water on a hot plate. He observes the ice slowly melt as shown in diagram below. After a few minutes, only liquid water is left in the beaker. Eventually, the water becomes hot enough to boil. The liquid water changes to water vapor, which is a gas.
