Uncoordinated flight.

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Uncoordinated flight.

Bottom line

In a skid, the rate of turn is too great for the angle of bank, and the ball moves to the outside of the turn. If aileron and rudder are coordinated during a turn, the ball remains centered in the tube.
