Which outcome occurs when ultrapure water transitions below its freezing point?

💡 Explanation

Supercooling occurs because the water needs to overcome an energy barrier for nucleation. It must decrease in temperature below 0°C before ice crystal formation via homogeneous or heterogeneous nucleation. Therefore, supercooling first explains the outcome, rather than immediate freezing; deposition is water vapor based.
