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.
A neutral particle formed when atoms share electrons?
If diamond were a gas, its particles would have to be arranged randomly and have high kinetic energy. The particles would be moving at high speeds and would not have a fixed arrangement or bonding like in solid form.
A group of chemically bonded atoms is termed a molecule.
it is called a complex
Molecule is the smallest particle that still holds the same compound.
A molecule is the smallest particle that is the same compound. Obviously molecules can be broken down further into atoms and these in turn could be broken down into fundamental particles.

Yes. This process is called radioactive decay. The primary particles emitted are alpha particles, which are helium-4 nuclei, and beta particles, which are electrons.
They're similar in that they're both representative particles. However, their key difference lies in the fact that an atom is an representative particle of an element, and a molecule is a representative particle of a molecular, or covalently bonded compound.

The particles are bonded together with some force when heat is supplied the then force between particles decreases and the start to move away from each other or we can say that the particles get that energy and become energetic and movement starts in individual particle and the force between the particles decrease. This is why when water is heated the particles detach from each other become steam.

Sandpaper uses the basic princliples of friction and motion to apply force to particles along the edge of the substance being sand-papered. This substance is bonded chemically to the outer particles, and, in order to break this force, the movement of the sandpaper along the surface creates friction. The movement then subsequently removes the particles by moving them as the sandpaper itself moves. In this way, a layer is removed. The use of sandpaper, therefore, is an application of particle theory, but is not, as the question suggests, particle theory itself.
Many salts, like table salt, do not actually form molecules. Instead the atoms are ionicly bonded: as separate oppositely charged ions they are attracted to each other but never actually attach to form a molecule.
