Which statement correctly describes how attractions that hold particles break?(1 point)
Attractions occur due to gravitational forces. When particles have low enough energy, these forces can no longer keep particles together.
Attractions occur due to electrostatic forces. When particles move fast enough, these forces can no longer keep particles together.

"Attractions occur due to electrostatic forces. When particles move fast enough, these forces can no longer keep particles together."
Explanation: At atomic and molecular scales, electromagnetic (electrostatic) forces bind charged particles. Increasing particle speed (kinetic energy, e.g., raising temperature) can overcome these attractions and break bonds or separate particles. Gravitational forces are negligible at this scale.
