Q. Super cooling stands for cooling of a liquid:

  • (A) at freezing point
  • (B) below freezing point
  • (C) at melting point
  • (D) above melting point

Explanation by: Admin

Supercooling occurs when a liquid is cooled below its freezing point without turning into a solid.

  • This happens because the liquid lacks nucleation sites needed for crystallization.
  • Supercooled liquids remain in a liquid state even below their normal freezing temperature until disturbed or seeded with a crystal.

Thus, supercooling means cooling a liquid below its freezing point without solidification.
