The molecular terms that occur when the ice melts are to be described.

Concept introduction:

Water $\left({\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\right)$ is a polar molecule that consists of two $\text{O}-\text{H}$ bonds in its structure. The hydrogen atom of one ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ molecule will interact with $\text{O}-\text{H}$ bond of another ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ molecule and form a hydrogen bond. The hydrogen bonding in water is as follows:
