Question

what are the two main factors which decide the physical state of matter ​

Answer 1

$\bold{Answer} \: \colon -$


The intermolecular force and the intermolecular space between the molecules determines the physical state of matter .


$\bold{Intermolecular \: \: Force} \: \: \colon$



→ Molecules are held by a force of attraction, called intermolecular force.


→ The force of attraction between the particles (I.e., molecules) differ from substance two substance . But for any substance ,


The stronger the intermolecular force the smaller the intermolecular space .


→ The intermolecular force is the strongest in the solid state, we are in the liquid state and the weakest in the gaseous state .



$\bold{Intermolecular \: \: \: Space} \: \: \colon$



→ The space between the particles is called as intermolecular space.


→ The space between the particles (I.e., molecules ) differ from substance to substance . But for any substance ,


The weaker the intermolecular force the larger is the intermolecular space .


→ The intermolecular space is the smallest in the solid state, larger in the liquid state and the largest in the gaseous state .
