As pressure increases the substance goes from gas to liquid to solid state.
As with increasing the pressure, the distance between atoms will decrease and that will affect it's motion so it will convert from easily motion of atoms in gas state to morr difficult motion in liquid and solid states

How are temperature and pressure related to the state of matter?
More pressure means less motion of atoms, so a gas becomes a liquid.
As pressure increases the substance goes from gas to liquid to solid state.
With increasing the pressure, the distance between atoms will decrease.
There is no relationship between temperature and pressure.
Temperature and pressure determine an object's state of matter.
True
False
Describe the motion of atoms in a solid.
atoms are tightly packed and locked into place
atoms losely packed and slide past each other
atoms are not paced at all and slide past each other
Place an ice cube on the palm of your hand for 15 seconds. What happens?
The ice cube melts (changes from solid to liquid) because of the pressure
The ice cube melts (changes from solid to liquid because of the transfer of heat from your hand (conduction)
