A solid becomes a liquid by the solid's molecules spreading farther apart until the point that it becomes a liquid because the temperature increases which causes the moecules to separate until liquid.
At its freezing point. First water starts out as a liquid, then when it freezes, it turns to ice which is a solid.
In physics, "boiling" and "freezing" points generally refer to the temperatre and pressure at which liquid water becomes a gas (the "boiling point"), or when liquid water becomes a soild (the "freezing" point). This can be extended to other compounds as well, although the terms "boiling" and "freezing" are not necessarily used. More correctly, we should describe phase transition points, the temperature and pressure where any compound undergoes a change from one state of matter (eg, solid --> liquid, or liquid --> gas, or gas --> plasma).
effect of pressure and impurties on the freezing and boiling point of liquids
There are three states of matter: gas, liquid and solid. The melting point is where a solid turns to liquid. The freezing point is where a liquid turns to solid.
No it would be the boiling point. At freezing point it becomes solid
It is possible to keep water as liquid below its freezing point - see related link.

This is officially known as the freezing point.
A liquid becomes a solid when the temperature reaches is freezing point.
super-cooled liquid
At its freezing point. First water starts out as a liquid, then when it freezes, it turns to ice which is a solid.
Water remains water no matter what state it is in, we just call it ice when it becomes a solid. However, you can keep water a liquid below it's freezing point by super cooling it. Another cool fact is if you cool water below freezing and it is still a liquid, shake it and it will start to freeze in a matter of seconds.
The boiling point, because a liquid boils into a gas.
They are the same temperature except for a small matter of semantics. Freezing point is when a liquid becomes a solid Melting point is when a solid becomes a liquid.
0 degrees Celsius, for water. Freezing point of any substance is that temperature at which it turns from liquid to solid.
