Question

Consider the following statements:
Statement-1: The physical state of matter depends upon the interparticle forces of attraction.
Statement-2: The physical state of matter does not depend upon the temperature.
Now, choose the correct option.

• A. Only statement-1 is correct
• B. Only statement-2 is correct
• C. Both the statements are correct
• D. Both the statements are incorrect

Answer 1

The correct option is A Only statement-1 is correct

The physical state of matter is determined by the strength of interparticle forces of attraction. The interparticle forces of attraction decrease with the increase in temperature. Thus, the physical state of matter depends upon the temperature.
Hence, the correct answer is option (a).
