Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	Solid, liquid, gas
B	Solid, gas, liquid
C	Liquid, gas, solid
D	Gas, liquid, solid

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: Solids diffuse the slowest as the particles in solids do not move from their fixed positions. Gases diffuse the fastest as the particles in gases move very quickly in all directions.

Detailed explanation-2: -In gases the particles move rapidly in all directions, frequently colliding with each other and the side of the container.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The solid state of matter has the slowest moving particles. Solids have defined shapes, and the spaces between atoms are very less as atoms are closely packed. Therefore, the movement of particles in solids is very less.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gases travel the fastest and have the highest kinetic energy amongst the three natural states of matter.
