Consider the following reasoning: “The forces holding matter together at the macroscale must be due to the forces holding together individual particles of matter (microscale). This allows us to rank the forces holding matter together at the microscale, by observing macroscale changes when a force is applied.”

Apply this reasoning to make a claim which ranks the force between particles in the following materials: water, air, a metal cylinder, a clay ball. Rank from strongest force to weakest force
