A particular substance isn't itself the "coldest" or "hottest." Substances can exist at many temperatures, and every single substance can be as cold as you want it to be! If you had a very special refrigerator, you could bring any substance down to absolute zero (which is 0 K or -273.15 °C or -459.4 °F)! Absolute zero is as cold as you can go, but cannot be achieved due to a law of physics known as the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and certain Entropy related laws of Thermodynamics.

We often think of things like liquid nitrogen as being very cold, and that's true. But there is nothing special about the nitrogen... it is a substance like anything else, it has just cooled to very low temperature. Think about hot water from the faucet and an ice cube -- they are both just water. There is nothing special about the ice cube except that it was in the freezer, whereas the hot water was heated.

Liquid gases are very cold (because if they warm up, they don't remain liquids, but turn back into gases). So liquid nitrogen is very cold (liquid nitrogen boils at boils at 77.35 K, which is -195.8 °C or -320.44 °F. However, liquid hydrogen would be much colder because it boils at 20.268 K, which is -252.88 °C or -423.184 °F). But frozen or solid hydrogen would be colder yet! The freezing point of hydrogen gas is 14.03 K, which is -259.13 °C or -434.425 °F. Now that's cold! Liquid helium has the lowest boiling point of all the elements, with a boiling point of 4.125 K and a freezing point of 0.95 K!

The coldest substance on Earth are Superfluids, such as liquid helium, which is less than a degree above absolute zero (0* K), which is the lowest possible (or impossible, as it would seem) temperature. Absolute zero is the temperature where no heat energy exists.

liquid nitrogen is the coldest substance that stays cold in the outside air, but superfluid helium is the coldest known substance can be 0,95 degrees Kelvin or -272,2 degrees Celcius.(Almost "Absolute Zero")

Water IS a substance, so your question really doesn't make sense. Under general conditions, water can't get any colder than 0 centigrade, then it turns into ice.

You can lower the freezing point by addding various chemicals, then it's not pure water any more.

Under certain condition it's also possible to create super-cooled water, which will sit as a liquid at some degrees below freezing. But this is an unstable condition, and the liquid will freeze solid instantly at the slightest disturbance.
