Answer:
Factors determining the state of substances
* Inter molecular force : substances having strong intermolecular force will be solid and substance with weak inter molecular force will be gas.
* Nature of chemical bond:
Ionic compounds are generally solid in nature because of strong intermolecular force.
Polar covalent compounds may be solid or liquid
Non polar covalent compounds generally gas
* Electro negativity difference: greater the electronegativity difference, greater will be the intermolecular force.
