When water freezes should the change in entropy be positive or negative and explain?

Please be aware that the change will be neither positive or negative. You see when "water" freezes the entropy will not change due the tempertaure of the area around it meaning the entropy will stay neutral. You are very welcome young man

Are the tempertrues below the water on the celsius scale positive or negative numbers?
On the Cecilius scale water freezes at 0 degrees at STP. Therefore below the surface of a boy of WATER on Earth, the temperatures will always be positive.
What is the value of zero and why is zero is considered neither positive nor negative?
Zero is a positive even number because it is between two odd integers and it is a number in its own right as for example water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius.

when it freezes up and then it rain then it spreads apart and breaks
Which has greater entropy liquid water at 0 degrees C or ice at 0 degrees C?
The water. This is because it has greater positional disorder; if you know the position of one molecule you can say much less about the positions of all the others than you can in an ice crystal. On the other hand, if we are maintaining the system at constant temperature and pressure, then at 0C the contribution to the entropy of the universe because of the water is the same whether it is liquid or solid. This is because when water freezes it give out a latent heat, increasing the entropy of its surroundings, which at 0C exactly cancels the ice's lower entropy.
What should you do when you are playing games such as Fallout Halo and Counterstrike and the screen freezes and turns colors negative as soon as you click?
When the screen freezes and the colors turn negative, you need to get to a different screen or quit the game. Otherwise turn it off, get a tissue and lightly rub the disc and it should work.
What state of matter is water in at negative 15 degrees Celsius?
water freezes at 0o celsius, so at -15oC it would be solid
What is the formula of salt that dissolved in 100 grams of water produces a solution that freezes at negative 1.40 degrees celsius with a mass of 3.9 grams?
Na3Cl2
Water does this when it freezes?

It freezes.
What kind of bond forms between a slightly positive hydrogen atom in one molecule and a slightly negative atom in another molecule?
That's called "hydrogen bonding," and it is a form of dipole interaction that explains many of water's physical properties, including why water expands when it freezes, why it has such high surface tension, and why snowflakes have six points.
How does a thermometer use integers?
For temperatures, zero is an arbitrary reference point, depending on which scale is used. For Celsius, zero is assigned the the temperature at which water freezes. So temperatures which are colder than this temperature will be negative values, and temperatures warmer will be positive values. Fahrenheit uses a different reference point for zero, but similar principles apply.
