What determines the state of a substance?
What determines the state of a substance?
- Number of atoms or molecules
- Intermolecular forces and molecular interactions (correct)
- Chemical composition
- Thermal energy and motion of particles
Why do individual water molecules not exhibit wetting properties?
Why do individual water molecules not exhibit wetting properties?
- Because individual molecules lack H2O composition
- Intermolecular forces prevent wetting at the molecular level
- Due to the different physical properties in bulk compared to individual molecules (correct)
- The absence of thermal energy in single molecules
In what way do ice, water, and steam differ despite having the same chemical composition?

- They vary in chemical composition
- Each has unique intermolecular forces
- Their states of matter are distinct
- They have different physical properties (correct)
