What happens to the motion between water molecules when liquid water transforms into a solid

Answer:

They slow down

Step-by-step explanation:

The faster molecules move means the looser the actual matter is (fastest molecules being gas, slowest being solid). So when LIQUID water with faster moving molecules transforms into a SOLID, it is only possible if the molecules slow down and become more compact with each other.

Hope I could help :)
