When placed in a freezer, liquid water turns into solid ice. Why is this considered a physical change?

This is considered a physical change because the water does not change its chemical properties - it is still water. It is simply just moving its shape such as gas form, liquid form, or solid form.

Because you can physically see the object melting when it comes to the melting point. The objects texture, color, temperature, shape, and state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) are possibly changing. Especially the bolded changes are happening.

For example, in your question, your talking about ice. It changes its shape, state of matter, temperature, and texture.

Select the molecule where free rotation around one or more bonds is not possible. Group of answer choices N2H4 C2Cl4 NH3 C2H6 CC

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

C₂Cl₄

Explanation:

To know if free rotation around a bond in a compound is possible, we need to see the structure of the compound (picture in attachment).

In single bonds, which are formed by σ bonds, the atoms are not fixed in a single position, and free rotation is permitted.

Double and triple bonds are formed by a σ bond and one or two π bonds, respectively. These bonds do not allow rotation, since it is not possible to twist the ends without breaking the π bond.

The chloroethylene (C₂Cl₄) has two carbons with an sp2-sp2 hybridization, they are bonded together by a double bond. <u>Free rotation on this bond is not possible, because six atoms, including the carbon atoms, doubly bonded and the four chlorine atoms bonded to them, must be on the same plane. </u>
