    If the attractive forces in a substance is much less than the

    molecular motion, then the substance will be in a "Gaseous" state.

    Explanation:

    When decreasing the attractive forces in a substance and making it "much" less than the molecular motion in the substance, the substance should be in a gaseous state.

    When the average kinetic energy of a substance or object is small enough that the attractive forces is stable enough to hold all of the particles close together, the molecules in liquids and solids do not move apart.

    If the average kinetic energy of a substance or object is great enough (greater than the attractive forces) to overpower the attractive forces between them, the molecules are able to move apart. This would mean that the substance is in a gaseous state.

    Overall, if the attractive forces are less than the molecular motion then the molecular motion will over power the attractive forces, breaking the molecules apart and letting them move freely as molecules in a gaseous substance would.

    solid, liquid

    Explanation:

    If the average kinetic energy is greater than the attractive forces between the particles, a substance will not condense to form a liquid or a solid. If the kinetic energy is less than the attractive forces, a liquid or solid will form.
