Question
Reggie puts a beaker of ice and water on a hot plate, and the ice slowly begins to melt as shown in diagram below. After a few minutes, only liquid water is in the beaker. Eventually, the water becomes hot and boils. The liquid water changes to water vapor, which is a gas.

The correct response is:
**The ice particles have less energy.**
Ice (solid) has particles that are more closely packed and have less kinetic energy compared to water vapor (gas), which has particles that are much farther apart and move more freely and rapidly due to higher kinetic energy.
