Want this question answered?
ions are electrically charged particles
The correct answer has to be plasma.
plasma
If the particles are electrically neutral the state of matter is a gas. If the particles ore ionized - a "soup" of electrons and positively charged ions, it is a plasma.
Electromagnetic waves - including X-rays - are produced by the acceleration of electric charges. All matter consists of electrically charged particles - I guess that shortly before reaching the event horizon matter will (a) get separated into those particles, and (b) get a tremendous acceleration.
Normal matter consists of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Anti-matter is composed of (among numerous other particles) negatively charged "anti-protons" and positively charged "positrons".
Charged particles are going to have a strong electromagnetic interaction with any matter that they encounter, since matter is also contains lots of charged particles. In effect, matter will present a great deal of solidity or substance to charged particles.
Interesting question. Electricity is the flow of electrons which can occur through solids, (copper,etc.), liquids, (water,etc.) or gases, (air, etc.) Electromagnetism is one of the four naturally occurring forces in the universe and occurs in all 3 basic states of matter.
The answer to this question is Plasma. Plasma is the special state of matter in which atoms are broken down into charged particles. A good reference would be the sun. ~Kazuku-Nakamaru

Matter becomes a plasma when it becomes a gas and the gas is ionized (electrically charged)
In physics, the four states of matter gas, liquid, solid, and plasma. Although people are more familiar with the three states of gas, liquid, and solid, plasma is more abundant in the universe. About 99 percent of matter in the universe is of this form. Plasma is an ionized gas that consists of electrically charged particles. A lightning strike is an example of plasma in nature.
