Answer:

The balance between intermolecular forces and kinetic energy

Explanation:

If the kinetic energies of the particles are not strong enough to overcome the intermolecular forces, the particles will be locked in place in a crystal lattice. The substance will be a solid.

If the kinetic energies of the particles are slightly stronger than the intermolecular forces, the particles will be able to slide past each other. The substance will be a liquid.

If the kinetic energies of the particles are much stronger than the intermolecular forces, the particles will be escape completely from the attractions of their neighbours. The substance will be a gas.

sound travels slower in colder air than it does in warmer air why does the speed of sound depend on air temperature

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The speed of sound in the air mainly depends on temperature. At high altitudes, where it is much colder, sound travels slower. The higher the temperature, the faster the air molecules are moving to begin with, and the quicker they bump into each other as a sound wave passes through.

If most objects are made up of free space then why can we put our hands through a book or wall?

Mazyrski [523]

I suppose you mean to ask why we can't go through obstacles.

Any atom is surrounded by an electronic cloud. When two atoms get close to each other, the electronic clouds repel each other, preventing them from interpenetrating each other. That same phenomenon, on a larger scale, prevents us from going through matter.
