PLEASE HELP Which of the following correctly describes the process of water freezing?

A The ordered liquid water molecules become more ordered as they
become ice.
BThe ordered liquid water molecules become more disordered as they
become ice.
C The disordered liquid water molecules become more disordered as
they become ice.
D The disordered liquid water molecules become more ordered as they
become ice.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

When water is liquid the molecules bounce around and are spread out, but when it is in it's solid form the molecules are compact and uniform

D. The disordered liquid water molecules become more ordered as they

become ice.

  • Freezing happens when the molecules of a liquid get so cold that they slow down enough to hook onto each other, forming a solid crystal.
  • For pure water, this happens at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and unlike most other solids, ice expands and is actually less dense than water.
  • The water molecules have slowed down enough that their attractions arrange them into fixed positions. Water molecules freeze in a hexagonal pattern and the molecules are further apart than they were in liquid water and the molecules in ice would be vibrating. Thus,  disordered liquid water molecules become more ordered as they  become ice.

Therefore, option D is correct.
