Answer:

A substance freezes

Step-by-step explanation:

Two substances bursting into flames on contact can be seen as a combustion reaction, and this usually happens with very volatile substances, and is a chemical reaction that changes the substance on the atomic level.

A substance freezing simply demonstrates a phase change, and does not alter the molecule on any level, apart from the arrangement of the atoms.

Bubbles forming when two substances are combined is the indication that a gas has been formed as a product. The only way a gas can be formed is by a chemical change, usually oxygen or hydrogen is given off.

A solid forming is usually named a precipitation reaction, and the solid is called a precipitate, and this is a chemical reaction that forms an insoluble substance.
