Question

21 multiple choice 1 point what phase change is involved when a liquid turns into a solid melting ionization sublimation condensation deionization deposition vaporization/evaporation freezing clear my selection

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the definitions of each phase change:

• Melting: Solid to liquid.
• Ionization: Not a phase change (involves forming ions).
• Sublimation: Solid to gas.
• Condensation: Gas to liquid.
• Deionization: Not a phase change (removing ions).
• Deposition: Gas to solid.
• Vaporization/Evaporation: Liquid to gas.
• Freezing: Liquid to solid.

So the phase change when a liquid turns to a solid is freezing.

Answer:

Freezing (the option corresponding to "Freezing" in the multiple - choice list)
