1) False - Other factors such as the presence of other substances and specific intermolecular forces also play a role in determining the state of matter. 2) True - In a heterogeneous mixture, the components can be physically distinguished and maintain their identity, while in a homogeneous mixture, the components are uniformly distributed and appear as one phase. 3) False - Heteroatomic molecules can have more than six atoms; there is no such limit on the number of atoms.
