Answer 1

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

**solid, liquid, gas**

In solids, particles are closely packed and vibrate in fixed positions, giving them the least kinetic energy. In liquids, particles are more loosely packed and can move around each other, resulting in more kinetic energy. Gases have particles that are far apart and move freely, which means they have the most kinetic energy.

So the correct response is:

**solid, liquid, gas**
