The correct order of states of matter from least to most kinetic energy is:
D) solid, liquid, gas
In a solid, particles have the least kinetic energy and are closely packed together, vibrationally fixed in place. In a liquid, particles have more kinetic energy, allowing them to move past one another while still being closely packed. In a gas, particles have the most kinetic energy, moving freely and independently of one another.
