<span><span>When the solvent disrupts the solvents ability to form that crystal lattice and thus need lower temperatures (freezing point depression) than normally expected to form the solid. </span>

My guess would be: B. The solute disrupts crystals formation by the solvent

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Freezing point depression is defined as the decrease in temperature of freezing of a solvent when a non-volatile solute is added into it.

This decrease in temperature arises because addition of solute particles into the solvent tend to disrupt the crystal formation of the solvents.

As a result, particles does not come closer to each other. Hence, we need to provide more lower temperature due to which there will be formation of crystal lattice in order to form the solid.

Thus, we can conclude that a solute depress the freezing point because the solute disrupts crystal formation by the solvent.

Please define the following terms in terms of Chemistry:
slavikrds [6]

A physical property is any property that is measurable whose value describes a state of a physical system.A chemical property is any of a material's properties that becomes evident during, or after, a chemical reaction; that is, any quality that can be established only by changing a substance's chemical identity.Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number, although all isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons in each atom.The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic number (number of protons), electron configurations, and recurring chemical properties. A period is the name given to a horizontal row of the periodic table.a group is a column of elements in the periodic table of the chemical elements.
