Why do some things change states of matter when exposed to different temperatures?

Matter is composed of tiny particles, which, depending upon the type of matter, are either atoms or molecules. If they stick together firmly, you get a solid; if they have a moderate attachment to each other you get a liquid, and if they move completely independently of each other, you get a gas. There is always some degree of attraction between these particles, for any substance (which derives from electromagnetic forces). There is also always some degree of random thermal motion, whether the particles are just vibrating in place, or moving independently. The higher the temperature, the more random thermal you have. So, when the random thermal motion is strong enough, it can overcome the attraction between particles, and thereby cause a change of state. Or moving toward colder temperatures, the attraction between particles will at some point exceed the random thermal motion, and cause a change of state.

Do different types of matter melt at different temperatures?
TRUE!!
Evaporation occurs when two fronts of widely different moisture levels meet?
Evaporation occurs at different temperatures for different substances. Evaporation is just the change of state of matter from liquid to gaseous.
When temperatures change almost all matter changes states.?
True
When temperatures change almost all matter changes states. True or false?
true
What happens to the temperature when bonds are broken?
If you mean the bonds as in the bonds between particles at different states of matter. Then the temperature actually effect whether the bonds break or not, if the bonds in matter break the state of matter changes to a gas, whose particles are free moving and are completely unattached. Different liquids change to gas at different temperatures. Hope this helped :)
How does matter change at different temperatures?
as it gets warmer it changes science
When temperatures change almost all matter change?
True
When temperatures change almost all matter change states?
True
Do different types of matter melt at different temperatures?
TRUE!!
How would an increase temperatures change does matter changes state?
No it doesnt matter.
A change in state of matter occurs when matter is exposed to a high temperatureTrue orFalse?
True
Evaporation occurs when two fronts of widely different moisture levels meet?
Evaporation occurs at different temperatures for different substances. Evaporation is just the change of state of matter from liquid to gaseous.
When temperatures change almost all matter changes states.?
True
How matter moves from solid to liquid to gas?
Matter does not move from a solid, to a liquid, to a gas. It is more proper to say that it changes its state. At different temperatures, all matter changes its state because of the different levels of energy that are required for it to maintain certain states. At the lowest temperatures, matter is a solid. As the temperature is increased, it can change into a liquid, and ultimately a gas. There are even higher states like plasma that involves even higher temperatures, like those found in the sun.
What are the different faces of matter?
There are four different phases of matter. These phases of matter are solid, liquid, gas and plasma. Each phase represents the motions of molecules at different temperatures.
When temperatures change almost all matter changes true or false?
true
A chemical change produces a different kind of matter?
a chemical change proude a different kind of matter
