Which shows the correct order of states of matter in terms of empty space between particles start with the state of matter in which particle are closest together

Answer 1

The correct order of states of matter in terms of increasing empty space between particles, starting with the state where particles are closest together, is:

1. Solid - Particles are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement.
2. Liquid - Particles are still close but can move past one another, allowing for more empty space than in solids.
3. Gas - Particles are far apart and move freely, resulting in a large amount of empty space between them.
4. Plasma - Similar to gas, but with charged particles and even more energy, resulting in even greater distances between particles.

So the order from closest to furthest apart is: Solid → Liquid → Gas → Plasma.
