The term hard water is usually used to describe water which has a relatively large amount of mineral content dissolved in it. If you are asking about solidified water, then that is always referred to as ice. You can do lots of things with water, for example you can add Gelatin to it and make jello, but if it's just water, and it has solidified, then that is called ice, and nothing else.

Why is it that oxygen is always in the form of gas?

Oxygen is not always in the form of a gas. It can be found in liquid form as a component of the compound called water. It can be found in solid form as a component of rust (iron oxide) and many other compounds.Free oxygen is found as a gas on the planet earth because the temperate of the planet's surface and atmosphere are well above the boiling point of molecular oxygen, which is -297 F or -183 C. We use oxygen in liquid form as part of the fuel of some rockets. Then we have to work very hard to condense it out of the air.
