solid, liquid, gas

Answer 1

The correct order of phases of matter from the greatest average kinetic energy to the least average kinetic energy per particle is:

**gas, liquid, solid**

This is because gas particles have the highest kinetic energy and are free to move rapidly, liquid particles have more kinetic energy than solids but less than gases, and solid particles have the least kinetic energy and are more tightly packed.

So the right response is:

**gas, liquid, solid**
