There are two main types of compounds:  ionic and molecular.  Molecular compounds can have either polar molecules or non-polar molecules.  The particles in each type of compound have different strengths of attraction, which we can use to explain a number of properties, such as boiling point, solubility in water, odour, and state at room temperature.
