The correct ranking of the phases of matter from the one with the least kinetic energy to the greatest kinetic energy for the particles in the substance is:
Least solid
↓
liquid
↓
Greatest gas
This reflects how particle movement increases from solids (where particles are tightly packed and have minimal kinetic energy) to liquids (where particles are more mobile) and finally to gases (where particles are far apart and move freely, possessing the greatest kinetic energy).
