Question

When placed in a freezer, liquid water turns into solid ice. What best describes this change?

The water molecules slow down, bonds are broken, and the separated atoms spread out.
The water molecules slow down, stronger attractions form between them, and the molecules stop flowing around.
The water molecules speed up, attractions between them become weaker, and the molecules spread out.
The water molecules speed up, new bonds are formed, and the new molecules are pulled closer together.

Answer 1

The water molecules slow down, stronger attractions form between them, and the molecules stop flowing around.

Step-by-step explanation:

imagine how the solids (so ice) are structured: atoms are very close to each other and vibrate on the spot.
