1 answer

The correct ranking of the phases of matter from the one with the least kinetic energy to the one with the greatest kinetic energy for the particles in the substance is:

  1. Solid (least kinetic energy)
  2. Liquid
  3. Gas (greatest kinetic energy)

So, the correct response would be:

Comparison of States of Matter: Least to Greatest
Least: solid
↓
liquid
Greatest: gas
