Powder is a separate state of matter. It does have properties of solid liquid and gas. If you put in iron balls in a jar of powder and shake. The iron balls will rise up (unlike liquid). If you make a small hole at the bottom of jar of powder the rate at which the powder will small depends only on the size of the hole and not on the powder height (unlike liquid). This also explains why hour glasses use powder. It is easier to mark time if hourglasses are filled with powder. Yet you can pour powder like liquid. There are many other properties which makes it a separate state of matter.

Is sodium carbonate the same as sodium bicarbonate?
No. Sodium carbonate is Na2CO3. Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3. Sodium carbonate is a stronger base.
Are sodium bicarbonate and sodium metabisulfite the same?
No. Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3, a compound of sodium, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. It contains the monatomic sodium ion (Na+) and the polyatomic bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) Ammonium bicarbonate is NH4HCO3, a compound of nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. It contains the polyatomic ammonium ion (NH4+) and the bicarbonate ion. Due to the acidity of the ammonium ion, ammonium bicarbonate is a less basic than sodium bicarbonate.
