Responses
A greatest to least motion.greatest to least motion.
B least to greatest motion.least to greatest motion.
C least to greatest density.least to greatest density.
D greatest to least rotation.

A is ice b is water and c is steam

Answer 1

Based on the states of water (ice, water, and steam), we can evaluate the correct ordering based on motion, density, and rotation.

1. **Motion**:
- **Ice (A)**: Molecules are in fixed positions, so they have the least motion.
- **Water (B)**: Molecules move more freely than in ice.
- **Steam (C)**: Molecules are highly energetic and move the most freely.
- **Order**: **A (Ice) - least motion, B (Water) - moderate motion, C (Steam) - greatest motion**

2. **Density**:
- **Ice (A)**: Less dense than liquid water, which is why it floats.
- **Water (B)**: Has a greater density than ice.
- **Steam (C)**: Least dense due to the high energy and large spaces between molecules in gas form.
- **Order**: **C (Steam) - least density, B (Water) - moderate density, A (Ice) - greatest density**

3. **Rotation**:
- **Ice (A)**: Limited rotation due to fixed positions.
- **Water (B)**: Molecules can rotate more freely.
- **Steam (C)**: Molecules can rotate the most freely.
- **Order**: **A (Ice) - least rotation, B (Water) - moderate rotation, C (Steam) - greatest rotation**

Given this analysis, we can state:
- **A (Ice)**: least motion, least rotation, greatest density
- **B (Water)**: moderate motion, moderate rotation, moderate density
- **C (Steam)**: greatest motion, greatest rotation, least density

If we summarize:
- **Motion (A to C)**: A (least) -> B -> C (greatest)
- **Density (C to A)**: C (least) -> B -> A (greatest)
- **Rotation (A to C)**: A (least) -> B -> C (greatest)

Please confirm if you're looking for any specific pattern or focus on certain responses among A, B, and C.
