when you put a water bottle into a freezer, an let it sit there without touching it, sometimes it will still be water but when you disturb it it will freeze all at once. why does that happen?

This phenomenon is known as supercooling. When you put water into a freezer, it will lower the temperature of the water until it reaches a temperature below its freezing point. The water will remain liquid until it is disturbed and the molecules are able to form the lattice structure of ice. This sudden freezing is known as supercooling.
