The 5 states of matter

 The 5 states of matter

 

Hello everyone! Do you know the three main states of matter. Of Course it is Solid, Liquid, and Gas. But actually, do you know that there are 5 states of matter. If you don't know. Lets, learn about it today.

The three main states of matter are:

• Solid 
• Liquid
• Gas

 Did you know that water can be in all the 3 main states of matter (solid state, liquid state, and a gas state). Ocean water in the liquid state. Ice in the solid state. And Water vapour in the gas state, which is present in the air. Matter is made up of atoms and molecules. The particles are always moving. The particles depends on how the particles move and how far apart they are.

 Solid

A solid is a kind of matter that has a set shape and a set volume. The particles in a solid object are  tightly packed together and they also vibrate back and forth. The two properties of solid is that solids, keeps their own shape and solids has a define volume. That means they take up the same amount of space no matter where they are. Solids move because of air pockets within them.

Liquid

A liquid is a kind of matter that has a set volume but no set shape. A liquid has no shape because its particles are not held together like a solid. Since liquid can flow past one and other, a liquid is also called a fluid. So, a liquid changes shape to match its container. When a liquid is poured into different containers, the shape will change but it keeps its volume.

Gas

A gas is a kind of matter with no shape or volume.  The particles are the ones that makes gases move around freely and bounce into each other. When gases are put into a container, the gas will spread out to fill the container and its shape. That means gases is also a fluid just like liquids are.                                            

If you see in the picture the solids are tightly packed, liquids are little free, and gas has many space between it.

Do you know what is the 4 and 5 states of matter. It is called as :

• Plasma
• Bose Einstein Condensate

Plasma

So, What is Plasma? Now, I will explain Plasma with using an example, which is the sun. Actually, inside the sun and other stars the temperature is very high. As a result, the atoms break releasing electrons and ions. Due to this, A big shine and glow will occur, that s called as plasma.

Bose Einstein Condensate

So, What is the 5 state of Matter? It is Bose Einstein Condensate. What is it? So, there where two scientists, Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein. What they did was, that they took low density gases and placed them in a place where the temperature is very very low. This is called as Bose Einstein Condensate. Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein did not prove that there was a 5 state of matter. Then, in 2001 three American Scientists, Eric A cornell, Wolfgang Ketterie and Carl E Weiman proved that there was a 5 state of matter.
