The correct order of phases of matter from strongest to weakest collective electrostatic forces is:
**solid, liquid, gas**
In solids, particles are closely packed together with strong electrostatic forces holding them in fixed positions. In liquids, particles are still close but can move past each other, resulting in weaker forces. In gases, particles are far apart and move freely, indicating the weakest forces among the three phases.
