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