by thickness i dont mean how fat i mean thickness of the liquid

It depends on the configuration and size of the liquid you are freezing, and I am not sure I understand what you mean by thickness.
If you put a glass of water in a freezer, the first surfaces to freeze will be those in contact with the glass, or with the cold air. The ice will form on those surfaces first, and the ice formation will then continue to form toward the center of the glass. The last bit of water to freeze will be at the center of the glass.
The farther the center of the glass is from the surfaces in contact with the cold air, the longer it will take to freeze the total amount of water.
A short glass of water and a tall glass of water that are the same diameter will both freeze at the same rate, but a glass that is larger in diameter, or fatter, but still the same height, will take longer, because its center is farther from the cold surfaces.

Yes. As a liquid freezes, heat must pass through an ever-increasing distance of the frozen substance.

u mean like in a cup ?
well the amount of water is a factor in freezing but if u were to take two cups and fill them with the same amount of water it would matter on the shape of the cup like if the cup was tall and narro it would freez esaly if it is relively the same hight as it is with it will take longer for it to compltly freeze (im useing whater as an egsample becasuse it is a comon house hold itom but this should aply to all liquids
i hope this helps

It relies upon on a gaggle of components... The extra mass of water you have, the longer it is going to take to freeze. the chillier the atmosphere around the water is, the shorter it take to freeze. Stirring it is going to truly enhance the time it takes to freeze because of the fact you're including kinetic capability to it...(this is the reason rivers do no longer freeze as unquestionably as lakes)

no just the type of liquid material
hydrogen freezes faster than water
