Liquid lava is of 4 types; felsic, intermediaire, mafic and ultramafic. Depending on its composition; it will harden differently.

Felsic is high in viscosity thanks to silica, aluminium, potassium, sodium and calcium.

Intermediaire is richer in magnesium and iron, thus less viscous.

Mafic (or basaltic) is high on iron and magnesium (ferromagnesian), therefore it's thicker.

Ultramafic (or ultrabasic) is highly magnesian that makes it low in viscosity but highly mobile, and also when becoming a hardened rock will make an excellent insulator.

Liquid lava's mineral composition slighly changes as it hardened, and will keep doing so long time after it is already hardened as the rocks come in contact with other rocks, the mineral composition will keep evolving by losing or gaining other minerals.

What is the difference between solids and liquids based on their atomic?

The difference between solids and liquids at the atomic level is primarily in the degree of freedom of motion that the particles have. In a solid the particles are closely packed together and have very limited movement meaning that the solid maintains a fixed shape. In a liquid the particles have more freedom of movement meaning that the liquid can take the shape of its container. Solids: Particles are closely packed together and have very limited movement the solid maintains a fixed shape. Liquids: Particles have more freedom of movement the liquid can take the shape of its container.
