When freezing a substance if the substance has successfully frozen , then the atoms in the substance won’t change in mass or have any chemical reactions since freezing is a physical change and the ratio of mass of atoms are in a fixed ratio . Nothing actually happens to the atoms I think .

Step-by-step explanation:

Freezing is the process that causes a substance to change from a liquid to a solid. Freezing occurs when the molecules of a liquid slow down enough that their attractions cause them to arrange themselves into fixed positions as a solid.
