Question

Which of the following condition favours the existence of a substance in the solid state?

• A. High temperature
• B. Low temperature
• C. High thermal energy
• D. Weak cohesive forces

Answer 1

The correct option is B Low temperature

At sufficiently low temperature, the thermal energy is low intermolecular forces bring the particles so closed that they cling to one another and occupy fixed position. The particles can still oscillate about their mean position and the substance exists in solid state.

Hence, Option "B" is the correct answer.
