When a liquid or gaseous chemical/element solidifies, or freezes, the particles that it is made up of (either atoms or molecules) lose energy into whatever they are touching, be it air, another solid, or a liquid. As their energy level reduces, they lose their tendency to move and solidify. However, they still vibrate in their positions, but not enough to move past one another. the only time they do not vibrate is at absolute zero (0 degrees Kelvin, or -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.
