a) Interconversion from solid to liquid state.
On heating a solid (at its melting point) the heat energy is absorbed/evolved and stored/transmitted as potential/kinetic energy. The inter-molecular distance increases /decreases and the intermolecular force of attraction decreases/increases. The molecules thus become comparatively free and the solid starts changing into the liquid state.

b) interconversion from liquid to gaseous state.
On heating a liquid (at its boiling point) the heat energy is evolved/absorbed and stored/transmitted as potential/kinetic energy. The energy increases/decreases the intermolecular distance and the force of attraction increases/ decreases drastically till it becomes almost zero/ negligible. The molecules thus become almost free and escape as gas or vapour .

c) Interconversion from gaseous to liquid state .
On liquification i.e., cooling a gas the Kinetic/potential energy is released in the form of heat/light energy. The  released energy causes a decrease/increase in the intermolecular distance and the force of attraction between the particles or molecules increases/decreases. The molecules thus come very close/ move apart and the gaseous state changes into the liquid state.

Sublimable solids e.g., iodine have very low/very high force of attraction between their molecules and have high/low potential energy stored in their molecules. On heating a sublimable solid, the intermolecular force of attraction is overcome almost completely/ to a small extent and the molecules escape from the surface of the solid in the form of vapour.
