No, solid particles is not same size as liquid particles.
When solid change state to liquid, the volume will increase. It is because the distance between atom and atom become larger as compared to solid. However, it is different for water in which the volume of liquid water is smaller than volume of solid ice.

Yes, the particles are the same size and volume... The particles themselves don't change when the state of a substance changes; what changes is the interaction between the particles (ie how close they are to each other - solid: packed tightly, liquid: less tightly, gas: free moving)

The same amount of gas, though, has a higher volume than solid - because particles are spaced apart

yes,it is definitely the same. The way they difference is just that the way they are being ordered. In solid, these particles are ordered regularly, while in liquid they are ordered less regularly, which means that the particles in liquid can move more freely. But take note that the particles of one element with the other element are different i.e particles of Nitrogen is not the same as particles of Oxygen.

The size/volume of a molecule is an open problem in chemistry, there are various ways to calculate the volume of a molecule, and they mainly depends on the stereochemistry and intermolecular forces.

Instead the volume of a substance decreases when it solidifies.
A solid normally has a higher density and so less volume.
The well known exceptions to this rule (besides some weird mixed ceramics) are water and Sb.

No they are not. Do not forget the intermolecular spaces and the difference between the intermolecular forces within the solids molecules and the liquids molecules.

um i think liqiud has more volume because the particles or atoms are more spaced apart, and them a gas would have even more volume...if thats how it works
