Which outcome occurs when intermolecular forces fall below thermal energy?

💡 Explanation

A liquid transitions to a gas because **molecular translational kinetic energy overcomes IMFs** holding molecules together; therefore, liquid turns into gas rather than solid, because not enough energy is lost; rather than decomposition occurs; because bonds are not broken.
