Higher polarity means the substance has stronger bonds

Explanation:

Higher polarity means the substance has stronger bonds which means it'll probably be a liquid or solid. And higher polarity of a molecule also means it's harder to turn the liquid like H2O into a gas - More energy would be required if the bonds are stronger. An electronegativity of 1.7 would mean the ionic bonds are formed which are even stronger. So The state changes as the polarity of a molecule change. The overarching physical property would be the state
