The degree of order of matter is directly proportional to the cohesive forces that hold the matter together. In other words, the more organized the state of matter, the stronger is the glue that holds it together. Which one of the following ranks these cohesive forces from the state with the strongest to that with the weakest cohesive forces?

1. Gas>liquid>solid2. liquid>solid>gas3. solid>liquid>gas4. solid=liquid=gas

    3. solid>liquid>gas

    Explanation:

    Hello,

    Since the particles composing a solid are arranged in such a way that they conform a rigid and organized structure, the cohesive forces are stronger in order for them to be correctly ordered and assembled. Unlike the solids, both liquid and gases have molecules in constant motion, considering that the gaseous molecules move freely along the containers.

    Best regards.
