Open in App
Solution

  • The force of attraction between the particles of matter is maximum in solid and minimum in gas.
  • As a result, the movement of particles is quite restricted in solid and hence they have minimum energy.
  • Whereas particles are free to move in gases. So, they acquire maximum amount of energy.
Thus, the correct order is:
  • Gas > Liquid > Solid
