the factors that effect the state of matter are:-

  • temperature
  • pressure

the matter change their state because of the above. if the temperature increases the kinetic energy or the energy to move of the molecules and it tends to move away from each other that results in change of state. if the temperature decreases the kinetic energy decreases which pulls the molecules together and again results in the change of state.

as the pressure increases the intermolecular space decreases and thereby changes the state like in the LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) where petrol is pressurized to become liquid.

thus we can conclude that the change of state of matter takes place to satisfy the surroundings of the matter.
