Question

When placed in a freezer, liquid water turns into solid ice. Why is this considered a physical change?

The physical structure of the water molecules change as bonds are broken and atoms are rearranged.
Only the motion and arrangement of the particles changes, not the identity of the substance.
The water molecules react when exposed to the cold temperature, causing the atoms to separate.
Only the arrangement of the atoms within the molecules changes, not the distance between them

Answer 1

its B yes? Only the motion and arrangement of the particles changes, not the identity of the substance.

Answer 2

or is it D Only the arrangement of the atoms within the molecules changes, not the distance between them?

Answer 3

the water will remain water, only the arrangement of the particles changed...it's not a chemical reaction...so yes

Answer 4

I feel like D is correct to though?

Answer 5

Either B or D

Answer 6

it is the motion and arrangement of the particles... because when the water is in the liquid form, the molecules are in a flowing motion bah when you freeze them it solidifies and the molecules locks in (can't move)...option D suggests that when you freeze water, only atoms in the molecules changes and not the distance between molecule to molecule. Which is not true, therefore it's B. water changes its motion and the arrangement of the molecule changes.....

Answer 7

sorry my internet freaked out!!! -_-

Answer 8

There was no actual chemical change in the water, the only thing that changed was the way the water molecules interacted with each other
