If I am not wrong..this is what I learnt in chemistry.
When a liquid is being frozen, the particles of that liquid will lose kinetic energy and slow down, causing them to move closer together. Thus, as the gaps between the particles decrease and the particles themselves get into a fixed position, it becomes a solid & the particles [only] vibrate in their fixed position. =D

What happens if energy is added or removed from a glass of ice water?
for a liquid to freeze , the attraction between the particles must overcome the motion of the particles.
What happens to the particles at absolute zero?
The particles freeze.
How particles change as they change state from solid to liquid?
if its going from a solid to a liquid the particles move FAST. if its going from a liquid to a solid the particles freeze and move VERY slowly.
What happens to the particles in a liquid when it boils?
The liquid will turn into a gas so the particles are gonna be moving around freely.
What causes liquid to freeze kinetic energy?
In terms of energy, a liquid will freeze when enough heat energy is removed from it. This will reduce the average kinetic energy of the particles (atoms or molecules).
What happens to a banana when you put it in liquid nitrogen?
its particles freeze to make it solid
If you freeze a liquid what happens to the particles?
The particles move closer together and are practically so close they cannot move.
What happens if energy is added or removed from a glass of ice water?
for a liquid to freeze , the attraction between the particles must overcome the motion of the particles.
What happens to the particles at absolute zero?
The particles freeze.
What happens to particles of a liquid as the liquid boils?
the particles are given more energy.
How particles change as they change state from solid to liquid?
if its going from a solid to a liquid the particles move FAST. if its going from a liquid to a solid the particles freeze and move VERY slowly.
What happens to a liquid when you freeze it?
It turns to a solid.
What happens to particles when something freezes?
the particles freeze up & not moving they lose energy and turn into ice
What happens to the particles of a liquid?
it depends on wether you are freezing the liquid, or melting the liquid.
What happens to the particles on the surface of a liquid as it evaporates?
These particles are transformed in gas.
What happens to the particles of matter when a liquid changes to a gas-?
The particles are no longer fixed by the forces keeping it a liquid
What happens to liquid to solid?
particles harden
