What change causes a substance to change states of matter?
options:
a) the amount of kinetic energy in the substance’s particles changes
b) the temperature of the substance decreases a small amount
c) the temperature of the substance increases a small amount
d) a chemical reaction happens

Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that kinetic energy is the energy obtained by an object due to its motion.

And, when we increase the temperature of a substance then there will occur an increase in the kinetic energy of its molecules.

Also,      K.E =

So, kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature. As a result, on increasing the temperature more number of collisions will take place between the molecules.

Therefore, we can conclude that amount of kinetic energy in the substance’s particles changes its states of matter.

the correct option is c.

isotopes refers to different forms of the same element with the same atomic number but different mass number as a result of difference in their neutron numbers. isotopes have different relative atomic mass but share the same chemical properties.

a:

by the combination of an unlimited number of elements
