The statement that will NOT happen when a liquid undergoes a physical change is:

The molecules will rearrange to form new chemical bonds.

In a physical change, the substance may change its state (such as from liquid to solid or gas), but its chemical identity remains the same, and no new chemical bonds are formed.
