The type of bond has absolutely nothing to do with the physical state of a compound or molecule. A covalently bonded substance can be a gas (diatomic hydrogen or water vapor), a solid ( ice), or a liquid (water).

This is actually a rather vague question. Bonds remain the same unless the temperature is high enough to break them. The physical state of a covalent bond is one of unequally shared electrons, that's pretty much it. In a carbon dioxide molecule, for example, the shared valence electrons spend more time with the oxygen nuclei than with the carbon nucleus.
