Solution

Forces of Attraction:

  • The attracting and repellent forces that develop between the molecules of a material are referred to as intermolecular forces (IMF), which is sometimes shortened.
  • These forces operate as a mediator between a substance's individual molecules.

Required temperature to change the state of any substance:

  • Heat is used to transition from one state to the next.
  • The heat supplied during the phase transition is fully utilized to alter the state by overcoming the force of attraction between the particles.
  • As a result, the temperature in the state will remain constant.
  • The heat provided here is referred to as latent heat.
