Explain the interconversion of three states of matter in terms of force of attraction and kinetic energy of the molecules.
(N/A) The interconversion of the three states of matter depends on the balance between the $KE$ (kinetic energy) of the molecules and the intermolecular force of attraction.
$1$. When temperature increases,the $KE$ of the molecules increases,which helps them overcome the intermolecular force of attraction,leading to a change from solid to liquid and liquid to gas.
$2$. Conversely,when temperature decreases,the $KE$ of the molecules decreases,allowing the intermolecular force of attraction to become more effective,which leads to a change from gas to liquid and liquid to solid.
