What is considered the fourth state of matter after solid liquid and gas?

Plasma is another state of matter, but not found on our earth. Plasma reaches fairly high temperatures and can be found in the sun, or other stars
:)
Edit: Err... that's WAY off... plasma is found ALL OVER Earth, though it is rarely present for extended periods of time. High-heat flames can cause formation of plasma, and electrical current can also produce plasma (if you've ever seen those ball things that have what looks like "lightning" shooting around in them, that's actually basically what it is, only with a much lower electrical current that isn't in the slightest bit dangerous to a human, but the visible part of it is actually plasma). The visible part of lightning is plasma, as is any visible electrical current.
So, no, plasma is not only found away from earth. It can be formed by burning things at fairly high temperatures e.g. gas flames, or by exciting gasses with electrical currents.
e.g. discharge lamps

∙ 9y agoThe fourth state of matter is plasma. Plasma is found in the sun, star, and on Earth. This state of matter is highly abundant in the universe. The other three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.

Is plasma part of the solid liquid and gas group?
Plasma might be considered part of the solid, liquid and gas group. That's because, like a solid, a liquid or a gas, a plasma is another state of matter. It could be treated as a fluid, as gases and liquids are often considered. Plasma is another state of matter that might be said to be "beyond" gas. If we superheat a substance greatly and drive electrons out of their orbitals around parent atoms, we end up with a plasma. Plasma is generally considered the fourth state of matter by physicists. A material that is "cool" enough to exist as a solid can be heated and undergo a change of state to become a liquid. Heat that substance more and it becomes a gas. Heat it yet more and it becomes ionized particles we call a plasma. Use the link below to learm more about the fourth state of matter.
Is silicate a state of matter?
No, there are only 4 states of matter: Commonly known are liquid, gas and solid. When you electrically charge a gas you get the fourth state of matter: plasma.
Is a solid substance not considered matter?
of course it is. All substances are matter.
What state of matter is shampoo?
Solid
What state of matter is a snowflake?
There are 3 states of matter, solid, liquid and gas. It is neither gas or a liquid, so it has to be solid.
Is lightning considered a liquid solid or gas?
A lightning bolt is plasma, a fourth state of matter.
Idenify the three states of matter?
The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. ...and occassionally Plasma is considered a fourth state.
What are the third and fourth states of matter?
you mean the four states of matter? it's solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Solid, liquid, and gas is the most common, though.
Is solar energy a solid liquid or gas?
No. Solid, liquid, and gas are states of matter, not energy. - - -- --- Matter (things) have energy (not things), and things can be solid, liquid, gas, or the fourth state of matter, called plasma. Most of the sun is plasma, but about 9% of it is gaseous.
What are all the phases of matter?
solid-liquid-gas Fourth one is plasma ie ionic state of matter.
What are the physical forms of matter called?
States of matter are:solid,liquid,gas andplasma.
What matter is jello stated in?
Jello is considered a solid for the most part, before it is refrigerated it would be considered a liquid.
How many states of matter do you have?
most commonly referred to in chemistry are three : liquid solid and gas....but further investigations have lead scientists to believe a fourth kind defined as plasma can be considered as a state of matter.
Is liquid a poor electrical conductor true or false?
Liquid is one of the 3 (or 4) states of matter: Gas, liquid, and solid. Being a liquid really has nothing to do with its conductivity. Example: Pure water is not a good conductor. Pure mercury in liquid form is a really good conductor. The Fourth state of matter is considered to be Plasma.
What are three kinds of changes in matter?
If we take solid, liquid and gas being the three main states of matter (plasma being an arguable fourth), then from solid to liquid, the process melting occurs, from liquid to gas evaporation or boiling (they are different things) occur. Then from gas to liquid condensation occurs and from liquid to solid freezing occurs.
What state is the matter of music?
There are threes states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. Music is considered a sound because it's heard. Sound is not classified as solid, liquid nor gas, hence it is not a state of matter.
What are the 3 examples of matter?
The three main types of matter are liquid,solid, and a gas. There is a fourth, which is called "plasma". Plasma is found on the sun.
