Arrange solid, liquid and gas in order of increasing energy?

Explanation

To arrange solid, liquid, and gas in order of increasing energy, we need to analyze the energy characteristics of each state of matter based on their intermolecular forces and kinetic energy.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding Solid State:**
- In solids, the intermolecular forces of attraction are very strong. This means that the particles are held tightly in fixed positions and cannot move freely.
- The kinetic energy of particles in a solid is minimal because they can only vibrate in place. Thus, we can consider the kinetic energy to be very low or effectively zero.
- The potential energy, due to the strong intermolecular forces, is negative and very large in magnitude.
