Supercooling is when liquids do not freeze even below their freezing point. If there is any movement while in the process it could cause the crystallization process. Also if any water molecules come in contact with any possible ice impurities it could cause the crystallization process. When the temperature of water drops below to 32℉, water should freeze. A water molecule of water contains two atoms of hydrogen and one containing oxygen. Oxygen is a lot heavier than hydrogen so it provides around 89% of the weight of a molecule. The three physical states of water depend upon the motion of the water molecules. When water is still liquid the molecules are able to move because they have enough heat. The solid water has slowed down due to the loss of heat so the water molecules move a lot slower. Now that they move slowly they have a strong attraction to bind the molecules together and that causes the ice to keep its state/shape.
