Question

click and hold to rearrange the four states of matter from lowest to highest energy (lowest energy at the top at the top, highest energy at the bottom). liquid plasma gas solid

Explanation:

To arrange the states of matter from lowest to highest energy, we use the knowledge of molecular motion and energy in each state:

1. Solid: Particles are closely packed, have the least kinetic energy, and vibrate in fixed positions.
2. Liquid: Particles are more free to move than in solids but less than in gases, so energy is higher than solid but lower than gas.
3. Gas: Particles move freely and rapidly, having more energy than liquids.
4. Plasma: It is an ionized gas with highly energetic particles, having the highest energy among these states.

So the order from lowest to highest energy (top to bottom) is solid, liquid, gas, plasma.

Answer:

From top (lowest energy) to bottom (highest energy):

1. solid
2. liquid
3. gas
4. plasma
