Answer:

B. It undergoes a physical change.

Explanation:

At room temperature, the iron atoms are in an unusual loosely packed open arrangement; as iron is heated past 912 degrees Celsius, the atoms become more closely packed before loosening again at 1,394 degrees Celsius and ultimately melting at 1,538 degrees Celsius.

Answer:

B. It undergoes a physical change.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since we know that chemical changes lead to the formation of new atoms and/or compounds due to the bonds rearrangement of the initial substances and the physical changes occur without changing the composition of the initial substances, we can infer that, since melting is a process that changes the phase of matter from solid to liquid without changing the identity of the initial substance, the answer to this question would be B. It undergoes a physical change. because the other options describe chemical changes.

Best regards!

Water is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good solvent. it is often called the

Tema [17]

Water is often referred as a <span>universal solvent </span>because it is capable dissolving much more solutes as compared to any other solvent. This is because, water is a high polar molecule. In water, H has partial positive charge while O has partial negative charge.

Due to this, water favors dissociation of molecules into positively and negatively charged ions. Positively charge ions gets attracted towards oxygen i.e. negatively charges, while negatively charged ions get attracted towards positive end of water molecule.

However, it is worth nothing that, despite water being referred as universal solvent, many compounds are insoluble or partially soluble in water. For instance, most of the hydroxide displays poor solubility in water.
