Question

1. what is it called when a liquid turns into a solid? a. melting b. freezing c. boiling d. condensation e. none of the above

Explanation:

To determine the process when a liquid turns into a solid, we analyze each option:

• Option a (Melting): Melting is the process of a solid turning into a liquid, so this is incorrect.
• Option b (Freezing): Freezing is defined as the phase change where a liquid transforms into a solid, which matches the question's description.
• Option c (Boiling): Boiling is the process of a liquid turning into a gas, so this is incorrect.
• Option d (Condensation): Condensation is the process of a gas turning into a liquid, so this is incorrect.
• Option e (None of the Above): Since option b is correct, this is incorrect.

Answer:

b. Freezing
