Why rocky planets are located in the inner part of the solar system and the gas giants are located further out from the sun?

This is only a guess but it could be that the tidal forces on a large planet close to the Sun would pull it apart. Tidal forces are caused by one side of the planet being closer to the Sun than the other side, so the force of gravity tends to pull it apart. On the Earth that force does not pull it apart but it causes the tides, and the Moon's gravity contributes also.
