Yes. Some freeze better than others. Some should not be frozen at all.

Vegetables with a high water content like lettuce do not freeze well. Usually vegetables are blanched (slightly cooked) to kill enzymes that will cause them to go bad in the freezer so basically any vegetable you can't steam or boil for a few minutes shouldn't be frozen.

All frozen vegetables will be softer after freezing than while raw and are best used in cooked dishes.
