"Attractions occur due to electrostatic forces. When particles move fast enough, these forces can no longer keep particles together."

Explanation: Chemical and intermolecular attractions are electromagnetic (electrostatic) in origin. If particles gain enough kinetic energy (e.g., from heating) their motion overcomes those attractive forces and the particles separate.
