Clay particles are of colloidal dimension i.e. 1 to 2 microns .
The difference is that clay is smaller than silt, and clay is sticky, while the silt is loose and feels silky.

Yes,there are single bonds.Every bond is a single bond.

ethanol allows oil to be able to mix with water.
Ethanol has hydrogen bond where as ether does not.
Clay is a specific kind of mud. Mud is a mixture of water and soil (or "dirt"). Soil is made up of small rock particles of various sizes, as well as some organic material, like decomposed plants. The kinds of rock particles found in soil are called sand (large particles), silt (small particles), and clay (even smaller particles). Soil with a lot of clay in it can be used to make bricks and other objects, like ceramic plates or coffee mugs, to be baked in a kiln, where the particles bond with each other due to the high heat and make a strong object.
The reason many rivers contain clay is because clay particles are lighter than the small rocks and pebbles beneath, so the clay particles are deposited on top of the rocks. However clay is not lighter than silt particles, in fact clay is much heavier. Normally the silt would cover the clay, but if the river is fast enough, it may continue to carry away the silt particles, and leave the clay.
Yes, clay particles are very small, smaller than sand particles.
