What happens to water when you freeze it?

Answer 1

First it changes from a liquid to a solid. When water reaches its freezing point, it will expand at a rate of about 9%. Almost all other liquids will actually shrink when frozen, but water will expand.

Answer 2

When you freeze water, it actually expands a little bit. The particles within it slow down due to the decrease in temperature, so they slow down. That is why water becomes a solid when it freezes. On the other hand, when water's temperature increases, the particles speed up.

Answer 3

When water freezes, it transitions from a liquid state to a solid state. The molecules slow down and come closer together, forming a rigid structure with a repeating pattern. This is why ice is less dense than liquid water, which is why ice floats on water.

Answer 4

What occurs when water freezes is a physical change.

Answer 5

It becomes solid water ... also known as ice.

Answer 6

it it turns into a solid and then melts right away because if it reaches 0 Celsius it reaches its freezing point which allows the particles to disintegrate and it no longer can keep freezing.

Answer 7

it takes up as much space

Answer 8

Expands
