Question

which shows the potential energy of particles in three substances, from least to greatest? liquid, solid, gas liquid, gas, solid solid, liquid, gas gas, liquid, solid

Explanation:

In solids, particles are closely packed and have strong intermolecular forces, resulting in lower potential energy. Liquids have more space between particles and weaker forces compared to solids, so higher potential energy. Gases have the most space between particles and the weakest intermolecular forces, thus having the highest potential energy among the three states of matter.

Answer:

C. solid, liquid, gas
