There are more than two classes (called "states") of matter.
We are accustomed to three of them: Liquids, Solids, and Gases.
On top of those three, there are another two, rarer states: Plasmas and Bose-Einstein Condensates.
Here are their definitions:
Gas: has neither fixed volume nor fixed shape, and will conform to the size of its container.
Liquid: has a fixed volume, but not a fixed shape, and will conform to the size of its container.
Solid: has both a fixed volume and a fixed shape.
Plasma: is a super-heated gas with partially-ionized molecules.
BEC: an incredibly rare state of matter that tends to only occur at incredibly low temperatures nearing absolute zero. You won't encounter this in Chemistry or Physics, unless dealing with Quantum Mechanics. (Because the temperature is so low, the particles in a BEC move so slowly that they are subject to Quantum Uncertainty, and thus don't occupy single, fixed positions in space.)
Typically speaking, any material can occupy any state of matter. Heating will turn a BEC into a solid, into a liquid, into a gas, into a plasma.
Cooling will turn a plasma into a gas, into a liquid, into a solid, and into a BEC.

Is the square root of 2 classified as rational?
No; √2 is irrational.
What are the derivative classification steps?
The steps of derivative classification are analyzing the materials, marking the classified status, figuring out what has already been classified, and using the current finding in later studies. The findings are derivative when classifying no matter if they are new, excerpts, or rephrased.
How can a quadrilateral be classified as a rhombus but not as a square?
Because they r 2 different shapes
How do you find a circumference of a circle if the radius is a fraction?
The circumference is 2*pi*radius. It does not matter if the radius is an integer or a fraction.The circumference is 2*pi*radius.

What is all matter classified as?
Answer: Matter is classified into 3 states. They are solid, liquid, gas. Matter can be also classified into materials.This are the 5 main groups of materials. They are the metals, plastics, glass, ceramic and fibre.
What are the clasification of matter?
Matter is classified into four categories 1 Solid 2 Liquid 3 Gas 4 Ionic (plasma)
A kind of matter that is classified as a solution could also be classified as?
Small particle that is a building block of matter
Why are rocks classified as matter?
Anything that has mass is matter.
Is water consider as matter?
Put simply, matter is anything that: 1) Has mass 2) Takes up space Since water has mass and takes up space, it is classified as matter.

Are you human classified as matter?
Yes.
Is rock classified as matter?
Yes
Can ice cream be classified as matter?
Yes, everything that can be touched is matter.
Can odorless and colorless gas be classified as matter?
Gases are classified as matter depending on their ability to occupy volume. A gas can be colorless, odorless, and occupy volume, making its classification of matter.
