Explanation:

As we known that atoms in a liquid substance are closer to each other and they are able to slide past each other because the attractive forces between them are neither too strong or too weak.

Hence, liquid substance are able to take the shape of a vessel in which they are placed. Liquids have a fixed volume but no fixed shape.

On the other hand, atoms of a solid do not have enough kinetic energy. As they are held by strong attractive forces and they only vibrate at their mean position.

Hence, solids have fixed shape and volume.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given situation liquid to solid change of state is taking place.

When they are close together and can slide, it will be in the state of a liquid, which takes a particular volume, but not a form.

When energy is decreased, the atoms move slower, and eventually locked in place, which will give it a fixed form, i.e. a solid.

The change of state is therefore that from a liquid to a solid, i.e. freezing.
