  • Physical Change: Understanding How Water Turns to Ice
    Ice is a physical change of water. Here's why:

    * Physical Changes: Alter the form or appearance of a substance, but not its chemical composition.

    * Examples: Melting, freezing, boiling, condensation, cutting, crushing.

    * Chemical Changes: Result in the formation of new substances with different chemical properties.

    * Examples: Burning, rusting, cooking, digestion.

    When water freezes into ice, it changes state from liquid to solid. The molecules of water (H₂O) remain the same; they just arrange themselves differently in a more rigid, crystalline structure.
