How many states of matter are there??

Question

I heard there where six (bose einstine condensates, solids, liquids, gases, plasma, and beams)but i don't know

Answer 1

At present there are five known states of matter.

Bose-Einstein condensate

Solid

Liquid

Gas

Plasma

Whether or not more will be discovered in the future remains to be seen. (Which is why its the future!)

Answer 2

Incorrect.

A fourth grader could answer it.

Liquid, Gas, Solid, PLASMA.

Answer 3

Didn't u ask it in wrong section?

Answer 4

To clear up Plasma, it occurs in florescent lights, neon beer signs and other simple situations.  An electric field "shreds" the atoms of a gas (neon, for example), creating an atomic soup of electrons and ions.  Not dangerous, not rare.  True, it is the substance of the sun because extreme temperatures and nuclear processes will produce it as well.  But also common on earth.

Answer 5

Three, solids, liquids and gasses. Some claim that plasma is a fourth.

Answer 6

Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma state &  Bose-Einstein Condensate State. Totally 5

Answer 7

Five, solids, liquids, gases, plasma and Bose-Einstein condensates.

Answer 8

well, most people consider there to be only 3 states of matter: gas, liquid, and solid.

However, there is a fourth type and that is called plasma. Plasma is dangerous and can only be made in a lab, which is one of the reasons that most people dont consider it to be a state of matter.

Hope this helps

Answer 9

-there are THREE MAJOR states of matter: solid, liquid and gas.

--------------------------------------...

This is a list of the different states of matter, including the more EXOTIC ones.

Generally states of matter are distinguished by the pressure and temperature, transforming into other phases as conditions change to favor existence of the other form, an example is melting and its complement freezing.

The list is ordered roughly in terms of increasing energy density.

♦Low-energy states which includes:

   • Quantum Hall state

   • Quantum spin Hall state

   • Bose-Einstein condensate

   • Fermionic condensate

   • Superfluid

   • Supersolid

-----

♦ Solid

   • Amorphous solid

   • Crystalline solid

      - Plastic crystal

-----

♦ String-net liquid

-----

♦ Liquid

   •Liquid crystal

-----

♦ Gas

-----

♦ Supercritical fluid

-----

♦ Plasma

-----

♦Degenerate matter:

   •Electron-degenerate matter

   •Neutron-degenerate matter

   •Strange matter (quark matter)

-----

♦Very high energy states:

   •Quark-gluon plasma

   •Weakly symmetric matter

   •Strongly symmetric matter

The GRAVITATIONAL SINGULARITY predicted by general relativity to exist at the centre of a black hole is not a phase of matter; it is not a material object at all (although the mass-energy of matter contributed to its creation), but rather a region where the known laws of physics have ceased to hold.

Answer 10

Properly, there are 5. Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma, and Bose-Einstein condensate although there are other predicted states which we have not yet experienced first hand.

Really you need only concern yourself with the traditional three, as plasmas can only be generated under extreme heat and Bose-Einstein's at very cold temperatures.

Answer 11

liquid,  gas,  solid.  so there are a total of three.
