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.

What particles are not arranged in any type of order?
The particles in a crystalline solid are arranged in a repeating pattern.
In a solid, the particles are packed tightly together. They do not have a lot of room for motion. These particles are arranged in a regular, usually repeating pattern.
A solid in which the constituent particles do not form a pattern is said to be amorphous.

yes
In liquids, the particles are still pretty close together but not necessarily touching each other. There is no pattern. We say that they arranged randomly. They are moving about in all directions, changing places all of the time.
Nonliving, solid material formed in nature with particles arranged in a repeating pattern is a mineral. Atoms of a mineral are arranged in a repeating pattern to form a solid that is called a crystal.
