energy levels:
low energy, particle movement is confined
greater energy, particles move more, slip over one another
high energy, particles move erratically

changes of state
-
for a change of state to happen, energy must be transferred either into or out of the particles,
this energy goes to breaking the bonds between particles, or overcoming the intermolecular forces
(breaking bonds is for melting, but you don't break bonds to go from a liquid to a gas because the bonds are already broken. instead, the intermolecular forces which hold together the liquid particles are broken)
The stronger the forces of attraction, the more energy is required to break them.
The stronger the forces between particles, the higher its melting and boiling point
