I don't really know what your question is asking so I am just going to list a few facts that I think might be what you are asking.

Ice turning into water is a physical change. The ice is undergoing the process of melting which does not change it chemically (ice and water are chemically identical in the sense that they are both composed of H₂O molecules) and the only difference between water and ice is that water molecules have a higher average amount of energy than the ice molecules do. When a substance melts, the molecules within the substance gain energy (in the form of heat) which allows them to break the intermolecular forces keeping them together. Since the melting of ice requires energy, the process is endothermic which means that the ice had to get energy from its surroundings and that water has more energy than ice does as a result of the process (ΔH is positive).

I hope that helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear or if I did not answer your question.

Answer from: veronicamixon1970

The freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid turns to a solid. ... This temperature is referred to as the melting point when temperatures rise above 32°F (0°C), causing ice to melt and change state from a solid to a liquid (water), as happened with the cup of crushed ice at room temperature.

Answer from: Quest

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence, the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
