Freezing

Freezing Definition

Imagine trying to fit a disorganized pile of clothes into a suitcase. Just like how you need to arrange each piece neatly to fit everything inside, a liquid's molecules must organize and lock into place to form a solid. In both situations, disarray must transform into structure: clothes become orderly in the suitcase, and molecules align into a fixed pattern during freezing, illustrating the transition from chaos to order.
