The correct order of states of matter from least to most kinetic energy is:

• solid, liquid, gas

In solids, particles are closely packed and vibrate in place, resulting in the least amount of kinetic energy. In liquids, particles are more mobile and can slide past each other, allowing for moderate kinetic energy. In gases, particles are far apart and move freely, resulting in the highest kinetic energy.
