Can gold be frozen?

What you don`t understand ? Gold is solid on a room temperature. If we heet it enough to it`s melting point it will melt when temperature exceeds the melting point. If now we get the temperature lower, on the same point (melting=freezing) it will turn back in solid state.

Does water freeze at 0?

Ordinarily, the freezing point of water and melting point is 0 °C or 32 °F. The temperature may be lower if supercooling occurs or if there are impurities present in the water which could cause freezing point depression to occur. Under certain conditions, water may remain a liquid as cold as -40 to -42°F!

Why does bottom of lake not freeze?

The gravitational weight of all the water higher up in the lake presses down on the water deep in the lake. The pressure allows the water near the bottom of the lake to get cold without expanding and rising. Because of the pressure, the water at the bottom of deep lakes can become cold without freezing to ice.
