Final answer:

The correct order of water molecules is solid, liquid, and gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct order of water molecules from solid to liquid to gas is

  1. Solid
  2. Liquid
  3. Gas

Water molecules exist as solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (water vapor) depending on temperature and pressure. At low temperatures, water molecules arrange themselves in a crystalline solid structure (ice). As the temperature increases, the water molecules gain enough energy to break free from the ordered structure and become a liquid. At higher temperatures, water molecules have enough energy to escape the liquid phase and become a gas.
