Matter can be changed from a liquid to a solid through the process of solidification or freezing. This occurs when the temperature of the liquid is reduced below its freezing point, causing the particles within the liquid to lose energy and come closer together, forming a crystalline structure characteristic of solids. As the particles arrange themselves into a more ordered pattern, the substance transitions from a liquid state to a solid state.
