Question 19
Easy

When purple iodine vapor (I2(g)\text{I}_2\text{(g)}I2​(g)) comes into contact with a cold surface, it deposits directly to form shiny, dark-grey solid iodine crystals (I2(s)\text{I}_2\text{(s)}I2​(s)).

Explain why this deposition process is classified as a physical change rather than a chemical change.
