States of Matter

 In Science, we are moving on to something different which is about " States of Matter ", well if you are wondering what is the definition of it. The matter is everything around us, including us, it is anything that has a mass or takes up space. The matter is made up of tiny particles, and these tiny particles are arranged into either a solid, liquid, or gas state. There are 3 commons of states of matter, and they are solid ( rigid, fixed shape, fixed volume ), liquid ( not rigid, no fixed shape, fixed volume ), and gas ( not rigid, no fixed shape, no fixed volume ). But then there two more, and they are plasma and bose einstein condensate.

Definition :

The Bose-Einstein condensate is an unusual state in which all atoms achieve the same quantum-mechanical state. At the moment, this state can only be encountered within a fraction of a degree of absolute zero. However, experts believe the condensates might be utilized to create atomic lasers or super-accurate clocks in the future.

Solids are materials that have a specific volume and form. They tend to preserve their form and bulk despite being resistant to outside influences. Bricks, doors, and humans are a few examples.

Liquids, for the most part, are non-compressible materials with a free surface that assume the shape of their containers. They cannot, however, continue to grow eternally. Water, glue, and ink are a few examples.

Gases start to fill the container's size and form. These have a rather low-density level. Oxygen and nitrogen are two examples.

Plasmas are ionized (electrically charged) gases with an equal amount of positive and negative charges; fluorescent lights and the sun are examples.
