Particles lose their attraction and change states due to changes in energy levels. When energy is added or removed, particles can overcome intermolecular forces and transition from solid to liquid to gas states. This is because the kinetic energy of the particles determines their motion and ability to break away and move freely.
The state of matter with maximum intermolecular attraction is solid. In solids, particles are closely packed together and held in fixed positions by strong intermolecular forces, resulting in a definite shape and volume. This strong attraction restricts the movement of particles, allowing them to vibrate in place rather than move freely, as seen in liquids and gases.
Shifting temperature. If its colder, the harder it will get because the particles will compress together. If its warmer, the substance will liquify (melt) or even turn into gas because the particles move apart from each other.
In a perfect gas, the particles only interact by collisions - they have no attraction to each other, nor are there any repulsive forces. The particles have no volume - they are "point masses".
transition from a disordered arrangement in the liquid state to an ordered arrangement in the solid state, or to a more chaotic arrangement in the gas state. The particles gain or lose energy during this change, leading to alterations in their speed and spacing.
Matter is composed of tiny particles, which, depending upon the type of matter, are either atoms or molecules. If they stick together firmly, you get a solid; if they have a moderate attachment to each other you get a liquid, and if they move completely independently of each other, you get a gas. There is always some degree of attraction between these particles, for any substance (which derives from electromagnetic forces). There is also always some degree of random thermal motion, whether the particles are just vibrating in place, or moving independently. The higher the temperature, the more random thermal you have. So, when the random thermal motion is strong enough, it can overcome the attraction between particles, and thereby cause a change of state. Or moving toward colder temperatures, the attraction between particles will at some point exceed the random thermal motion, and cause a change of state.
As the fruit juice particles transition from liquid to solid at freezing point, the attraction between particles will increase and become stronger. This is because the particles will become more organized and move closer together in a regular pattern, creating a more stable structure.
If the particles are electrically neutral the state of matter is a gas. If the particles ore ionized - a "soup" of electrons and positively charged ions, it is a plasma.
All the fluid states: liquid, gas, plasma being some examples.
By definition, freezing is the change of a liquid to a solid. You see, in a liquid, the forces of attraction and repulsion between particles (atoms or molecules) are equal. Because of this, liquids are fluids (they take the shape of their containers and flow without changes in density). In solids, however, the forces of attraction between particles are greater than the forces of repulsion. Because of this, solids retain a specific shape and density. Therefore, when a liquid freezes, its particles loose part of the energy which supports the forces of repulsion, and the forces of attraction become grater, thus becoming a solid.
During a change of state, such as melting or boiling, the particles in a substance rearrange their positions and gain or lose energy to move from one state to another. For example, in melting, solid particles gain enough energy to break their fixed positions and move more freely, turning into a liquid. Conversely, in boiling, liquid particles gain enough energy to break free from each other and turn into a gas.

Gas has fast moving particles.
The bonds between particles are strongest in the solid state of matter. In solids, particles are tightly packed together, leading to strong forces of attraction between them which hold the structure in place.

move faster and break free from other particles, entering the gas state.
A change in state of matter is typically caused by varying temperature and pressure conditions. When these conditions are altered, the kinetic energy of particles changes, leading to a transition from solid to liquid, liquid to gas, or vice versa. This change occurs as the intermolecular forces between particles are either strengthened or weakened.
In a solid the particles are close together and in fixed positions In a liquid the particles are still really close together but can move around past each other In a gas the particles are free to move and far apart During a state change the particles in the substance will change from being in one of the above to another
