The freezing point is a physical change because the substance is the same before and after only changing its form.
It is a physical change.
The freezing point is a physical property because it describes a characteristic of a substance (temperature at which it freezes) without changing the chemical composition of the substance. When a substance freezes, it undergoes a physical change from a liquid to a solid, not a chemical change.
It is a physical change.
I believe it is physical because you are not changing the chemical compound.
Water VAPOUR literally does not have a chemical freezing point because it is in the process of evaporation which is above freezing.
yes it is.
No, the amount of water does not change the boiling or freezing point of water. The boiling point of water is always 100°C (212°F) at sea level, and the freezing point is always 0°C (32°F). The boiling and freezing points are determined by the chemical properties of water, not the amount of water present.
Changing the pressure can affect the freezing point of a substance. Generally, an increase in pressure will lower the freezing point, while a decrease in pressure will raise the freezing point. The presence of solutes or impurities in the liquid can also change the freezing point.

I would say that freezing point is a boiling property because there is no scientific evidence to suggest that it is or indeed ever will be a chemical property. Freezing point is a chemical reaction. Therefor this is a debatable question. Different people may have different views. This is mine."Freezing point" is usually termed as "melting point" in scientific circles. Melting point is defined as the temperature at which the solid and liquid phase of a substance coexist at equilibrium under the pressure of their own vapors. Ice and water coexist at equilibrium at temperature of 32 degrees F when only their own vapor pressures are acting upon them. However, the temperature difference at atmospheric pressure is negligible. As you can see, melting point (freezing point) only depends on the physical conditions acting on the substance, therefore, melting point (freezing point) is a physical property. Melting point is effected (lowered) by the addition of other molecules or ions to the substance. This effect is physical because it depends only upon the number of particles (molecules etc) added and no chemical reaction is required.
The freezing point depression equation is Tf i Kf m, where Tf is the change in freezing point, i is the van't Hoff factor, Kf is the cryoscopic constant, and m is the molality of the solution.
