Technically, the molecules are close together and vibrate in place. They do not stay move fast enough to overcome the attraction between them.

Water, ice and steam, all are H2O but are different states of water. Water-liquid state Ice- solid state Steam- Gaseous state
The chemical equation for the state change from water to ice is H2O (l) --> H2O (s). This reaction represents the process of water transitioning from liquid to solid state, where the water molecules rearrange into a crystalline structure to form ice.
Freezing of water is a physical change because it involves a change in state from liquid to solid without altering the chemical composition of water. The molecules in water rearrange to form a crystalline structure in the solid state but remain as H2O molecules.
If your're asking about the change of state, the answer would be Freezing. If you're asking about the state of ice, it would be solid.
H2O(l) --> H2O(g) + heatshows the process of freezing.
Ice is a molecule of water (H2O) in the solid phase.
The composition of ice is H2O, and once it melts to water, its composition is ... H2O! So, no, the composition does not change.
In a solid state, atoms or molecules are very close together and are regularly arranged in a fixed, repeating pattern. This arrangement contributes to the solid's rigid structure and defined shape.
Water (H2O) is a clear, colorless liquid in its liquid state, and as a solid (ice), it appears as a transparent crystalline solid. It has no odor or taste.
Solid
The state of matter where molecules are closest together is the solid state. In solids, molecules are arranged in a highly ordered structure with minimal space between them.
