When a molecule freezes, the kinetic energy of that molecule decreases, and the molecules do not move as fast. It is chemically unaltered, but on the phase has changed, making it a physical change.
A physical change doesn't involve the molecule composition of a substance.
The composition of ice is H2O, and once it melts to water, its composition is ... H2O! So, no, the composition does not change.
A physical reaction, or change, is one that can be observed without changing the chemical composition of the substance. Boiling is a physical change because the substance that is boiling does not change its chemical composition. For example, water is still H2O whether it is boiling or not boiling.
A chemical change involve a change of composition.
Freezing is a physical change because the substance that freezes does not change its chemical composition.
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.

The particles get so attracted to each other making them form into a solid
Freezing is a physical change because although change obviously takes place, what something is made of does not change when it freezes. Liquid water and ice are the same substance for example.
Physical--- melting something doesn't change its chemical composition.
Chemical. Something else is created as a result, and the composition does change, making it a chemical change.
it has something to do with the chemical composition of the elements.
Physical weathering is the breaking down of something which does not change a substance's composition itself

A physical change is one you can see. It changes the size, shape, or color of something. A chemical change is one that changes the composition of something. Basically, when a substance is changed into a different substance.
