Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of microscopic particles, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. Gas is well separated with no regular arrangement. liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.
Usually the solid phase, but some substances, importantly water, are exceptions because the liquid near the freezing point has shorter inter-particle distances than the solid near the freezing point.
The particle theory states that all particles are made of matter, these particles are in constant motion and there is a force of attraction between these particles. Solids have more closely packed particles and thse particles get looser as they progress through the states from liquid to gas. Therefore, moleculary, the molecules move faster and faster and appear farther and farther away from each other.
Solids are one of the four phases of matter (the others being liquid, gas, and plasma). Solid particles are densely packed and rigid, making them have a definite shape unlike the other phases of matter. They have little space to move which is why it is hard for you to make your hand pass through a table. They also do not pressurize well.
They are both fundamental phases of matter. They can vary in form, and do not have their atoms or molecules packed closely together.
In the solid phase, the atoms are tightly packed in a regular manner. They only vibrate in their own positions. In the liquid phase, the atoms are slightly more disordered and irregularly packed. They can move around freely. In the gaseous phase, the atoms have very large spaces between one another and they can move around at very high speeds.
A heterogeneous mixture has two or more distinct phases with different characteristics. Because of this, two random samples of a heterogeneous mixture may have different compositions. For example, the phases in mud are the water and soil particles, which remain distinct from one another. These phases are not necessarily visible, but may exist as microscopic clusters or particles. By contrast in a homogeneous mixture any two random samples will be identical.
Lunar phases are tightly related to both kinds of eclipse: -- A lunar eclipse can occur only at the time of Full Moon. -- A solar eclipse can occur only at the time of New Moon.
Due to the breaking or formation of the bonds that hold the particles together.
Detachment:soil particles are detached from the soil mass due to rain splash. Transport: deposition

Unlike in a suspension, the particles in a colloid do not separate into two phases on standing.
