The correct order of states of matter in terms of empty space between particles, starting with the state of matter in which particles are closest together, is:

**solid, liquid, gas**

In solids, particles are closely packed together with very little empty space. In liquids, the particles are still close but have more space than in solids. In gases, the particles are far apart, resulting in a lot of empty space.
