Question

What defines the state of a substance

Answer 1

$\mathfrak{\huge{\green{\underline{\underline{ANSWER :}}}}}$

The two factors on which states of matter depends are:

(A) Inter-particle forces of attraction :

❥ It keeps the particles together also called intermolecular forces.

(B) Thermal Energy : It is the energy passed by matter due to heat energy.

❥ It increases the kinetic energy and hence tries to keep the particles apart.

Answer 2

Answer:

Two factors determine whether a substance is a solid, a liquid, or a gas: The kinetic energies of the particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) that make up a substance. Kinetic energy tends to keep the particles moving apart. The attractive intermolecular forces between particles that tend to draw the particles together.
