Question

The process of freezing is an example of a physical change even through water and ice have different properties why

Answer 1

When water freezes into ice, its chemical composition of hydrogen and oxygen remains perfectly unchanged, as well as all the chemical properties of water are retained.

Only a few changes in the physical properties occur due to the transformation of water into ice; like the density, shape and size of the molecules change due to the change in the state of water from liquid to solid.

Thus, it is considered to be an example of physical change only.
