Question

Which state of matter is most affected by temperature change?

Answer 1

1. When the temperature of solid rises, the kinetic energy also rises. The solid particles begin moving at a high velocity.
2. The intermolecular force of attraction reduces and the intermolecular distance increase.
3. The solid state gets transformed into a liquid state.
4. When the temperature of liquid increases, the kinetic energy also increases.
5. The liquid particles start moving at a high speed and the intermolecular force of attraction decreases and the intermolecular distance increases.
6. The liquid state gets transformed into the gaseous state.
7. When gas is kept in a vessel, the gaseous particles keep colliding with each other as well as on the walls of the containing vessel. Due to this pressure gets exerted on the walls of the containing vessel.
8. When the temperature of the gas rises, the kinetic energy of the gas molecules and the pressure exerted on the containing vessel also increases. Thus, the gas molecules possess much more high energy than they did before.
9. The effect on the gaseous state is much higher as compared to solid and liquid states.
10. So, the gaseous state is most affected by temperature change.
