Solution

When ice melts, its particles gain energy and begin to move. This is because the process of melting involves the absorption of heat energy, which increases the kinetic energy of the particles, causing them to move more rapidly. This increased movement breaks the rigid structure of the ice, causing it to turn into liquid water. The particles do not come close together or move very far apart - instead, they move more freely than they did in the solid state, but are still relatively close to each other compared to a gas. They also do not lose energy in the process - the energy is what allows the ice to melt in the first place.
