Question

Identify two factors that determine the state of matter

Answer 1

the kinetic energies of the particles (atoms,molecule,or ions)that make up up a substance. kinetic energy tends to keep the particles moving apart.

the attractive inter molecular forces between particles that tends to draw the particles together.

Answer 2

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.
