Question

when water is frozen it forms ice that has different properties why then do we say that freezing is a physical change

Answer 1

water is frozen it forms ice that has different properties though it is classified as physical change because it is a reversible change and that is a physical property and by the way ,it has same properties after being frozen same taste,same uses,just frozen ice is cold,and water of the normal room temperature.

Answer 2

Answer:

when water is frozen it forms ice and has different properties.. but freezing is a physical change.

yes it's a physical change because it's reversible. there is no change in the chemical nature if that substance. only change in it's physical properties.

in freezing also, no new substance is formed. only change in hardness, rigidity, fluidity, density, melting point and boiling point (physical properties) it occurs without any change in the composition and no change in the chemical nature.

that's why it's a physical change.
