This is the description of a solid.
As a substance goes from the solid to liquid to gas state, the particles in it are getting farther and farther apart, because they are obtaining more energy, causing them to move around faster, collide more, and move apart. As a substance goes from the gas to liquid to solid state, the particles in it are getting closer and closer, because they are losing energy which causes them to slow down and get pushed tighter together.
Solids dissolve a lot more quickly in hot water because the heat breaks up the particles more quickly, where as the cold would make the particles stay stronger/closer together :)
if the number of protons changed, the atom would become a different element
Particles in an atom have opposite electrical charges, which cause the particles to attract each other, kind of like how positive and negative magnets stick together.

opposites attract. the particles are attracted to the positively charged particles.
they are concealed
In solids, particles tend to stay still, and are close together
Liquid particles are loosely packed in the container. They do move around but the particles are bond to each other loosely. So the liquid particles stay together.
Bonds stay together by electrons that travel on the atoms combined, holding the atoms together.
Protons and neutrons are not elementary particles. They're made of particles called quarks (which we're reasonably sure areelementary particles). These quarks are held together in hadrons such as protons and neutrons by something called the color force, also known as the strong nuclear force.The residual color force, which you can sort of think of as "left over" from holding the individual protons and neutrons together, holds the collection of protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.
Gravity.
gravity causes big particles to come back down to the ground but the little particles stay floating in the air because the wind (caused by movement of things) makes them continue to move along the air.

covalent bonds are when one atom shares the same valence electrons with another atom other.Covalent bonds are how atoms stay together
