Comparing the energy and particle motion of the four states of matter, rank them from least energy to most energy.

a
Plasma, gas, liquid, solid

b
Plasma, solid, liquid, gas

c
Solid, liquid, plasma, gas

d
Solid, liquid, gas, plasma



Answer :

The ranking of the states of matter from the least energy to most energy is; Solid, liquid, gas, plasma. Option D

What is the kinetic theory of matter?

We know that from the kinetic theory of matter, the molecules that compose matter are in constant random motion and thus they collide with the walls of the container.

Solids have great intermolecular forces hence the particles do not translate. The particles in a liquid are more looses held thus they translate. In gases and plasma, the intermolecular interaction is quite infinitesimal hence they move at high speeds.

Thus, the ranking of the states of matter from the least energy to most energy is; Solid, liquid, gas, plasma. Option D
