According to kinetic theory of gases, at absolute zero temperature (1990)
Water freezes
Liquid helium freezes
Molecular motion stops
Liquid hydrogen freezes

Solution:

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the absolute temperature ($E_k = \frac{3}{2}kT$). At absolute zero ($T = 0 \text{ K}$), the translational kinetic energy becomes zero, implying that all molecular motion stops.
