* Ice is just water in a solid state. It's the same chemical compound (H₂O) as liquid water or steam.

* Chemical changes involve breaking and forming new bonds. When ice melts or freezes, it's a physical change. The bonds within the water molecules themselves stay the same.

How to make water undergo a chemical change:

* Electrolysis: Splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen gas using electricity. This breaks the bonds within the water molecules.

* Reaction with metals: Some metals react with water to form new compounds. For example, sodium reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

In short: You can't make ice undergo a chemical change by just melting it or freezing it. You need to apply specific conditions to break the bonds within the water molecules to create a new substance.
