Question
when water freezes, what type of change occurs?
physical change
nuclear change
chemical change
no change occurs during a chemical change
Physical changes involve alterations in physical properties like state (solid, liquid, gas) without changing the chemical composition. When water freezes, it changes from liquid to solid (ice), but it is still H₂O chemically. Nuclear changes involve changes in the nucleus of an atom, and chemical changes result in the formation of new substances with different chemical formulas.
