When you freeze water, it actually expands a little bit. The particles within it slow down due to the decrease in temperature, so they slow down. That is why water becomes a solid when it freezes. On the other hand, when water's temperature increases, the particles speed up.

∙ 11y agoWhen water freezes, the molecules are locked into place in a crystal structure, and it turns into a hard solid, or ice. The ice is hard because unlike in water, where the individual H2O molecules are free to move about and are not fixed in position, in ice each of the molecules is connected to the molecules next to it, making it hard. Freezing is a change of state of a material or substance, and it is a physical (not a chemical) change. We also need to mention that water expands when it freezes because of the formation of hydrogen bonds!

Why can't salt freeze?
the things which are in liquid state get freezed and become solid. Salt is already a solid so it does have to get freezed.
