The particles stay the same. How they relate to their neighbors changes. Picture a crowd of people in a large room. In a solid, they have interlocked arms with their neighbors. They can rock back and forth, but they can't move relative to their neighbors. In a liquid, they are still always touching each other, but their arms are no longer interlocked, so they can move around the floor. In a gas, they are running around the room, sometimes bumping into each other.

The particles in a gas are moving very fast and spread out to fill the entire container.T hey take the shape and volume of the container.
The particles in a liquid slide over each other and take the shape of the container. They keep their volume. They are moving faster than a solid molecules and slower than those of a gas.

More space between 'em. Compress a gas (or lower it's temperature) far enough and it becomes a liquid.
