Respuesta :

The atoms in the ice cream, due to the absorption of energy, become more distant from each other, and move faster that when it was a frozen solid.

Explanation:

In a solid, atoms are held together due to strong intermolecular forces of attraction. But when we heat this solid then atoms absorb energy and gain kinetic energy.

As a result, the atoms start to move rapidly from their initial position causing the solid to change into liquid state.

Therefore, we can conclude that when frozen ice cream melts the atoms in the ice cream move away from each other.
