Solution

Dear student

Salt is solid; the forces of attraction between the particles of salt are strong. Water is a liquid; the forces of attraction here are weaker than salt. Oxygen is a gas; the forces of attraction are the weakest in gases.

Thus, the increasing order of forces of attraction between the particles of water, salt, and oxygen is

Oxygen < Water < Salt
