Electron config difference

Hey does anyone know whether the electron configurations for atoms in solid and liquid states are the same? (coz if the electron configs are determined experimentally, would different states give different electron configs?)

electron configuration (Example Carbon ©: 1S^2, 2s^2, 2p^2) does not discriminate between the different states (solid, liquid, gas). The only difference that could happen will be in the bonding (breaking and forming of bonds).
