What change causes a substance to change states of matter?
options:
a) the amount of kinetic energy in the substance’s particles changes
b) the temperature of the substance decreases a small amount
c) the temperature of the substance increases a small amount
d) a chemical reaction happens

Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that kinetic energy is the energy obtained by an object due to its motion.

And, when we increase the temperature of a substance then there will occur an increase in the kinetic energy of its molecules.

Also,      K.E =

So, kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature. As a result, on increasing the temperature more number of collisions will take place between the molecules.

Therefore, we can conclude that amount of kinetic energy in the substance’s particles changes its states of matter.

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?
