Each shell can contain only a fixed number of electrons: The first shell can hold up to two electrons, the second shell can hold up to eight (2 + 6) electrons, the third shell can hold up to 18 (2 + 6 + 10) and so on.
States of matter are determined by temperature. When the temperature is more cold, the particles move less. The colder the temperature, the more solid something becomes. Because the particles are in fixed positions, they do not move much, they are colder, and they are solid. Also, you cannot pass your hand through locked atoms. If you swipe your hand through water or gas, it parts. Solids, however, are fixed and cannot be passed by without significant force to break it.
