Question

Name the factors which govern states of matter?

Answer 1

Both temperature and pressure can be measured, and state changes can be observed. When thermal energy is added to a substance, its temperature increases, which can change its state from solid to liquid (melting), liquid to gas (vaporization), or solid to gas (sublimation).
