ALL i knw z dat no new substance z formed(i.e liquid 2 solid) and it can be easily reversible

The process is reversible so it is a physical change

All change of state processes such as melting, freezing, sublimation, condensation and so on undergo physical changes.

the process is reversible and so no new substance is formed..,its therefore a physical change.

since its a physical change, its meant to be reversible.i.e cooling of water to form ice can be reversed to form water back but burning of domestic gas for cooking cannot be reversed cuz the gas is completely burnt in oxygen and a new product is formed

very interesting! Wen water(liquid) put in a fridge to make block (ice) dats d process of FREEZING as a (physical) change of form & state of matter. Wic d change is easily reversible (back to melting). Therefore, answer is "D"

Physical change z reversible nd no new substance z 4med;water undergoes fusion 2 4m ice on coolin,ice undergoes melting n turns 2 water on heatin,as u can c d change z rversible n no new substance 4med
