Nothing. The amount of atoms stay the same. Usually, though, the volume decreases. However, when water becomes ice, it expands.

What happens to the molecular motion of a liquid as it freezes?

As the temperature of a liquid substance lowers, the molecules and atoms making up the substance slow down their movement. The also pack closer together, making the substance more rigid, turning it into a solid.


The temperature at which a substance freezes is also its what?

The answer is that the temperature a substance freezes is also its melting point. Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius into ice and if you heat ice up to 0 degrees Celsius it MELTS to give you water. Evaporation is the change from liquid to gas and condensation is the change from gas to liquid (for water this happens at 100 degrees Celsius).
