An ice cube that is dropped into a glass of water melts because
a.
the water is liquid, and the ice is solid.
b.
heat energy moves from the ice to the water.
c.
heat energy moves from the water to the ice.
d.
the ice is denser than the water.

C.  heat energy moves from the water to the ice.

Explanation:

When a cold (that is, at a low temperature) and a hot (that is, at a high temperature) bodies are in contact, heat flux from the hot to the cold body. In this case, the ice cube is the cold body and water is the hot one.  

As this happens, the temperature of the ice cube increase and if the heat transferred is high enough, the ice cube change from solid to liquid (melts). At the same time, that water lows its temperature as a consequence of the heat loss.

it would be a gas formation

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
