Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct order of the physical states of matter in terms of increasing energy of the particles is solid (s), liquid (l), and gas (g). In solids, particles have the least amount of energy and are closely packed together. In liquids, particles have more energy than in solids, allowing them to move around each other. In gases, particles have the most energy and are free to move in all directions.
