Draw diagrams to represent the particles in each state: solid, liquid, and gas.

The box for the solid should be an orderly set of circles with no gap between each one. The box for the liquid represents molecules with more energy but not all bonds have been broken. Therefore the box should have a disorderly set of circles which are mostly connected to each other. The box for the gas must be circles which are not connected at all and are evenly spaced within the box to represent that all bonds between molecules have now been broken.
