Final answer:
At a sufficiently low temperature, a liquid does not have enough kinetic energy to overcome intermolecular attractions and changes into a solid, a process known as freezing or solidification.
Step-by-step explanation:
At a sufficiently low temperature, a liquid does not have enough kinetic energy to overcome intermolecular attractions, and changes into a solid. This transition is known as freezing or solidification. As the temperature decreases, the kinetic energy of the molecules also decreases, preventing them from overcoming the intermolecular forces (IMFs) that hold them together. Once the molecules no longer have sufficient kinetic energy to move past each other, they become locked into place, forming a solid. This state change is because, at lower temperatures, most substances are solids due to intermolecular forces becoming more dominant.
