State Of Matter

Distinct phase of matter characterized by uniform physical properties.

A state of matter is a distinct phase of matter characterized by uniform physical properties and macroscopic structure. Matter can exist in several states, including solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

/steɪt ɒv ˈmætər/

The term 'state of matter' is derived from the concept that matter can exist in different forms or states.

Everything around us is made of matter, and it can be a solid like ice, a liquid like water, or a gas like air - these are called states of matter.

Plasma is considered the fourth state of matter
Water can exist in all three common states: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (steam)
Scientists are researching exotic states of matter like Bose-Einstein condensates
