HOw man states of matter are there to you? 5 for me colloids(tooth paste, jello) plasma(stars) solid liquid and gas.

States of matter are classified by the energy of the particles in the matter. Solids have little energy, and therefore take up little space. Heat up a solid and you get a liquid, more energy and more space. Heat up liquid and you get a gas, much more energy and alot more space. If someone could heat a gas hot enough, you would get plasma. As far as I know, the only time this has been attained on Earth is in plasma cutters, but the plasma cools so quickly that only a tiny beam of plasma can be achieved. Plasma is very hot because of the energy in the particles. Anyway, if plasma were to be heated up to a high enough temperature, a new phase of matter with incredibly high energy would be the result. I hate to shoot you down Evard, but colloid isn't a state of matter. (that's science 8)

and if you cool a solid down a whole lot, you get this

Interesting, my science teacher failed to tell me about this.

How many states of matter are there to me? 14 or more solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, quark-gluon plasmas, Bose-Einstein condensates and fermionic condensates, strange matter, liquid crystals, superfluids and supersolids and the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic. |

| engineer, why would your science teacher tell you about this? its probably not part of the state's syllabus. |

I live in Canada, and when I asked my teacher (when I was in grade 8) about the possibility of other states, he said that no other ones had been discovered. So I guess he just didn't know about them then.

Why do you say a choloid isnt a state of mater because it cant be clasified in solid or liqid (it's inbetween) but its not in any way a gas also plasma doesnt naturaly(not spelled right) occur on earth and I think it cant occur on earth. also this is good for pissing of a lot of teachers ive proven my sience teacher and geo. teacher wrong on about ever thing he wrote on test that didnt match mine in the class normally so I look bad till I come out with a grade of 108% on a test.

Colloid is a mixture, not a state of matter. You mix the solid gelatin with the liquid water, to get the solidified jello.

good idea for pissing teachers off .. Haha i hav no idea if plasma can exist naturally on earth but i noe of a way to create it ... just put a lit candle in to a microwave oven... and on it.... the carbon dioxide produced by the flame will get heated up by the oven to such high temperature that it becomes plasma....

what would fermionic condensates look like or feel, and whats a liquid crystal wouldnt it be a solid?

Liquid crystals are substances that exhibit a phase of matter that has properties between those of a conventional liquid, and those of a solid crystal. For instance, a liquid crystal (LC) may flow like a liquid, but have the molecules in the liquid arranged and oriented in a crystal-like way - WIKIPEDIA What would fermonic condensate look or feel like? What would Quark-Gluon Plasma look or fell like? It is only said to have existed during the first 20 or 30 microseconds after the universe came into existence in the Big Bang. |
