No. Ice undergoes a physical change when it freezes, such that its molecules align in a lattice that is less dense than the liquid state.

What makes ice a chemical change?

Water changing into ice does not have a chemical reason, as it is not a chemical reaction but a physical change. It changes its state of matter once reaching the freezing point of 0 degrees Celsius, and freezes.


Is it physical or chemical when water freezes at 0 degree celsius?

When liquid water freezes to form ice, the chemical composition of water does not change. It will be H2O whether it is in liquid state or solid state. So it is a physical change and not a chemical change.


When water freezes it a physical change or chemical change?

Physical!Ice is H20(s) and Water is H2O(l)


Is liquid water freezes in solid ice is it a chemical change or physicals?

Physical - it is still H20, frozen or not.


When water freezes into solid ice is it a physical change or a chemical change?

This is a physical change. It's still water, just in solid form.


Is this a chemical change or physical change water freezes and turns into ice?

It's a physical change because the substance is the same before and after only changing form. In other words, water's chemical formula is H2O and ice's chemical formula is also H2O, so they are the same substance. Therefore it is a physical change.


Calcium chloride lowers the temperature at witch water freezes and can be used to melt ice on a city sidewalks and roadways. is that a physical or chemical change?

physical change


Why does water change into ice?

because it freezes


When water freezes it change?

When water freezes, it turns into what we call ice. ice is a solid. no offense, but um stupid question.


When liquid water freezes into ice it looks different why is this not a chemical change?

Water freezing from liquid to solid is a reversable process, which mean it can be un-done, but a chemical reaction is when one or more objects react together to create something new which cannot be reversed. So when you mix vinigar with bicarbonate of soda try reversing the foam it creates!


When a substance undergoes a phase change what occurs a particle change a chemical change a new substance is formed a physical change?

When a substance changes phase, this is a physical changerather than a chemical change. When water freezes to become ice, or when ice melts to become water, its all physical.


Is ice wedging physical weathering or chemical weathering?

Ice wedging is physical weathering. As water freezes it grows, so when water flows into cracks or holes and then freezes it causes the water to expand, which brakes apart whatever it seeped into.
