That process is called cementation.
As liquid rock cools down, its particles lose energy and move closer together, forming solid crystals. This process is known as crystallization. The specific minerals that form depend on the composition of the original liquid rock and the cooling rate.
The two processes that can change sediments into rocks are compaction and cementation. Compaction occurs when sediments are compressed by the weight of overlying sediments, reducing the pore space between particles. Cementation happens when minerals precipitate in the pore spaces, binding the particles together into a solid rock.
When limestone undergoes metamorphism to form marble, the particles within the limestone recrystallize and become more tightly packed together. The original minerals in the limestone may change, leading to the formation of new minerals such as calcite and dolomite. This process also typically results in a more uniform and stronger rock with a distinctive crystalline texture.
When particles condense, they come together to form a denser phase, such as a liquid from a gas or a solid from a gas. This process releases heat energy and allows the particles to move closer together, resulting in a decrease in volume.
As the ice cube boils, the particles gain energy, breaking the intermolecular forces holding them together. This causes the particles to move more freely, transitioning from a solid to a liquid state.

particles in a solid are packed so close together they can only
When freshly precipitated ferric hydroxide is shaken with a small amount of ferric chloride, the ferric chloride will dissolve into the solution and react with the ferric hydroxide to form additional ferric hydroxide. This process is known as peptization, where the shaking helps break down the larger particles of precipitated ferric hydroxide into smaller particles that remain suspended in the solution.
they really dont dissolve they just squish together so much because the particles want to get together and then you cant see the particles anymore
The particles move closer together and are practically so close they cannot move.
The vibration of the atoms slows and they condense together.

The gas particles are freely moving because they are not tightly arranged together
