All gases will condense into liquids before you get down all the way to absolute zero. This is because there is an attraction between the particles, which (in the gaseous state) is overcome by the extra thermal energy. Note that if you keep dropping the temperature, most liquids will then solidify (the exception being helium).

If you mean absolute zero, see the reference for details. Helium will not become solid unless you also apply high pressure. Even at absolute zero, some motion remains. See the zero point energy part of the first reference.

If you could cool it to absolute zero, the particles would stop moving.

All molecular motion will cease. The gas will solidify.

0ºC Nothing much. But 0ºK (Kelvin) which is -273ºC then everything stops and they turn to like a powder. Pretty difficult to get that cold though

If you mean 0K then all atomic and molecular motion stops.
