The correct order of the states of matter from least to most kinetic energy is: **solid, liquid, gas**.
In this order:
- Solids have the least kinetic energy because their particles are closely packed together and vibrate in place.
- Liquids have more kinetic energy than solids, allowing their particles to slide past each other.
- Gases have the most kinetic energy, with particles moving freely and far apart from one another.
