The process of freezing is an exothermic process. Particles in a liquid have more enrgy than those in a solid, hence they vibrate / move more. Therefore, to turn a liquid into a solid, energy needs to be taken out of the liquid. This means energy is given off to its surroundings, making it an exothermic process.
