what makes water freeze?

Answer 1

All molecules, including water molecules (even those in a glassful of still water) are constantly moving. Heat makes them move faster, cooling slows them down. When water gets cool enough, molecular movement is slowed enough that the molecules stick to each other and form ice crystals.

You can demonstrate the movement by drawing a glass of water, covering the top with a piece of plastic wrap, and then placing the glass in a place where it will not be disturbed. By the way, the plastic wrap is there to exclude dust and retard evaporation during the duration of the demonstration.

In a day or two, the circulating currents resulting from filling the glass will have died down. Carefully remove the plastic wrap without moving the glass or disturbing the water. Add one small drop of red food coloring to the center of the liquid surface, taking great care to not stir or mix it into the water. Replace the plastic wrap, again taking care to not disturb the glass.

Observe the glass from day-to-day and you'll notice that the color is spreading in the clear water. In time, the color will be uniform
throughout the liquid. This mixing effect is proof that the liquid
molecules are moving -- even when they might appear to be stationary..

Answer 2

When the atoms slow down to the point it is no longer in liquid but rather solid form, we consider it frozen. This slowing of atoms is caused by cold, of course. Different things have different temperatures at which their molecules slow down enough to render them into a solid state, so not everything freezes at 32 F.

Answer 3

Low temperature, hence 0 degree C is known as freezing point.

Answer 4

32 Degrees F.

Answer 5

you want practical or scientific ? practical is temperatures under 32 F or 0 C physics says taking energy from the mass causes it to change state ( if I remember correctly )

Answer 6

Frozone

Answer 7

temperatures at or below 0

Answer 8

WHEN TEMPERATURE GO DOWN AND REACH UP TO 0 OR BELOW THE WATER WILL BE FROZEN.

Answer 9

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmm, Im just taking a wild hint here, but a freezer. Is your name Forest??

Answer 10

cold breeze n the temperature of the earth.
