There are at least six: solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, Bose-Einstein condensates, and a new form of matter called "fermionic condensates" just discovered by NASA-supported researchers. fc_med.jpg ... Now we have fermionic condensates--so new that most of their basic properties are unknown. read more
It was once believed that there were only three states of matter namely solid, liquid and gas (1,2,3). But slowly as the years passed by the fourth state of matter Plasma (4)was discovered. read more
6 states of matter. The 6 states of matter are discussed very briefly below. But in actual case there are totally 7 states of matter. The last state of matter discussed below is Zero state of matter, which is not included in the 6 states of matter. The 1 st state of matter is Solid. Solids have definite shape and structure. read more
Six intensive properties of matter are its color, luster, odor, density, boiling point and conductivity. Malleability, melting point, freezing point, ductility and hardness are also intensive properties of matter. read more
