The table compares the characteristics of a substance in three different states of matter.
Comparison of Characteristics
\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|}
\hline\ Characteristic\ &\ State\ \(\ \mathbf{X}\ \)\ &\ State\ \(\ \mathbf{Y}\ \)\ &\ State\ \(\ \mathbf{Z}\ \)\ \\
\hline\ Average\ Kinetic\ Energy\ of\ the\ Molecules\ &\ Low\ &\ Greatest\ &\ Least\ \\
\hline\ Particle\ Attraction/Forces\ &\ Weak\ &\ Negligible\ &\ Strong\ \\
\hline
\end{array}
Which of these best describes the state of the substance represented by State Z?
It is a solid because strong attractive forces prevent particles from moving.
It is a liquid because strong attractive forces prevent particles from moving.
It is a liquid because weak attractive forces allow for some motion.
It is a gas because weak attractive forces allow for some motion. - Physics Solution | KnowBuddy | KnowBuddy - Best AI Homework Helper for All Subjects
