what is the fundamental difference of particles between the state of matter?
distance
solid and liquid states particles are closer together, we refer to them as
condensed phases

liquid
the bonding of electrons shared equally between atoms
nonpolar covalent bond
the tendency of an electron cloud to distort
polarizability
in this force, molecules that have permanent dipoles are attracted to each other
dipole-dipole interactions
bonding of electrons shared unequally between atoms
