1.	Assertion (A) : Three states of matter are the result of balance between intermolecular forces and thermal energy of the molecules.Reason (R ) : Intermolecular forces tend to keep the molecules together but thermal energy of molecules tends to keep them apart.
Answer» Both A and R are true and R is the CORRECT explanation of A Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A A is true but R is false. A is false but R is true. Solution :Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. Intermolecular forces and thermal energy DECIDES the state of MATTER as the former kept the MOLECULES together but after some time, it KEEPS them apart.
