In this state of matter, there is a strong attraction between molecules and they cannot break away from each other. 

• solid
• liquid
• gas

In this state of matter, the molecules can move around each other, but cannot break the force of attraction between them.

• liquid
• gas
• solid

In this state of matter, the molecules have enough energy to completely separate from each other.

• gas

• solid

• liquid
