Different states of same substance are due to the difference in

Different states of same substance are due to the difference in

  • A. temperature
  • B. pressure
  • C. either temperature or pressure
  • D. none of the above

Step-by-step solution

The state of a substance (solid, liquid, gas) depends on both temperature and pressure. Changing either can cause a phase transition. For example, increasing temperature can melt a solid, while decreasing pressure can cause boiling. Thus, differences in state arise from variations in either temperature or pressure.
