The difference in the composition of the terrestrial planets and the gas giants can be explained by the different condensation

The inner planets are usually rocky because the gravitational pull is stronger closer to the star or in this case the sun. The dust and rocky particles that are left over after a super nova or in a nebula will tend to orbit closer to a proto-star when a solar system is in its early days. In our solar system these planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Gases are less dense and will be less affected by the pull of gravity because rocky particles have more mass. The outer planets are gas giants formed from clouds of gas that would be further out in the spinning disk around a proto-star.
