Temperature would be the typical answer.
Units of measure
The thermal energy of a substance determines its state, since thermal energy, aka internal energy, is the energy the molecules in the substance have. If the energy exceeds the force holding the substance together the substance undergoes a phase change.The physical state of a substance is related to its temperature, the measure of thermal energy. The substance can change states depending on the temperature, e.g. boiling.

The density of the substance compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in determines whether it will sink or float. If the substance is denser than the fluid, it will sink. If the substance is less dense than the fluid, it will float.
Yes. The bonding of the specific molecules of a substance determines its state of matter.

The form of energy caused by increased molecular activity is called thermal energy. It is a measure of the total kinetic and potential energy of the molecules in a substance due to their motion and vibration. Thermal energy determines the temperature of a substance.
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. It is commonly measured in degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F). It determines whether a substance feels hot or cold.
The density of the substance.
I am not 100% positive on this... so take it for what it is worth! The state of a substance is determined by the temp. Cold is solid Warm is liquid Hot is gas Each is relitive to the substance, of corse. Hope I'm right on this one! Terry
There isn't one, just a description. There are three descriptions; solid, liquid, & gas.
