Water molecules are linked by hydrogen bonds.
Attractions between molecules may affect the viscosity of a liquid because if the molecules aren't attracted close enough together, the viscosity will be much lower (the liquid will have a watery appearance). If the molecules are closer together, the liquid will have a higher viscosity
molecules of a solid break up get's into the space that is in between the liquid molecules

The molecules in a solid vibrate in place. The molecules of a liquid are moving about.

No, they are not. The forces between molecules in steam are not as strong as those present in liquid water.

The molecules in a liquid are densely packed than in a gas. The shorter distance between the molecules allows the energy to transfer more efficiently between molecules, therefore allowing more heat to pass between them.
Due to weak secondary forces between molecules...
Viscosity
liquid
It has a different amount of space between molecules
A volatile liquid is easy to vaporize because there are weak intermolecular attractions between its molecules. A nonvolatile liquid is difficult to vaporize because there are strong intermolecular attractions between its molecules.
