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.

What best describes the collision between ideal gas molecules
Alika [10]
An ideal gas is defined as one in which all collisions between atoms or molecules are perfectly eleastic and in which there are no intermolecular attractive forces. One can visualize it as a collection of perfectly hard spheres which collide but which otherwise do not interact with each other.

An ionic bond forms when atoms blank electrons
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

An ionic bond forms when atoms transfer electrons.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed when atoms transfer electrons. (In contrast, covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons.)

There's a distinction between the two: when two atoms react to form an ionic bond, one atom would completely lose one electron, while the other would completely gain that electron. The atom that loses the electron becomes a positively-charged ion called a cation, whereas the atom that gains the electron becomes a negatively-charged ion called an anion.

For example, consider the reaction between a sodium \rm Na atom and a chlorine \rm Cl atom: \rm Na + Cl \to NaCl.

When the sodium atom and the chlorine atom encounter, the sodium atom would lose one electron to form a positively-charged sodium ion, \rm Na^{+}. The chlorine atom would gain that electron to form a negatively-charged chlorine ion \rm Cl^{-}.

These two ions will readily attract each other because of the opposite electrostatic charges on them. This electrostatic attraction (between two ions of opposite charges) is an ionic bond.

Overall, it would appear as if the sodium \rm Na atom transferred an electron to the chlorine \rm Cl atom to form an ionic bond.

In contrast, when two atoms react to form a covalent bond, they share electrons without giving any away completely. Therefore, it is possible to break certain covalent bonds apart (using a beam of laser, for example) and obtain neutral atoms.

On the other hand, when an ionic bond was broken, the result would be two charged ions- not necessarily two neutral atoms. The electron transfer could not be reversed by simply breaking the bond.

For example, when table salt \rm NaCl is melted (at a very high temperature,) the ionic bond between the sodium ions and chloride ions would (mostly) be broken. However, doing so would only generate a mixture of \rm Na^{+} and \rm Cl^{-} ions- not sodium and chlorine atoms.
