What is the state of matter as thermal energy is added to ice?

Liquid

Explanation:

When thermal energy is applied on any solid, its tends to distort the structural configuration of that solid and in the case of ice (water) application of heat distorts the structural lattice breaking bonds holding it together until its melts back to its state at room or above room temperature depending of the amount of thermal energy applied to it.

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
