Question

In the diagram shown below, M and Q represent two states of matter.

A rectangle labeled M has an arrow labeled Cooling which points from the rectangle M to a rectangle labeled Liquid. An arrow labeled Cooling points from the rectangle labeled Liquid towards the rectangle labeled Q.

What do M and Q represent?

M represents a solid and Q represents a gas.
M represents gas and Q represents a solid.
M represents a solid and Q represents liquid.
M represents a liquid and Q represents a gas.

M represents gas and Q represents a solid.

The order of density from high to low goes from solid, liquid, gas. When water cools, its density becomes higher meaning the M is cooling to become Q.
