1. High temperature

2. Low temperature

3. High thermal energy

4. Weak cohesive forces

At low temperature existence of a substance in solid state is due to

(a) slow molecular motion and

(b) strong cohesive forces

These two forces hold the constituent particles together thus causes existence of substance in solid state.
