The three most recognized states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Plasma, basically a collection of charged gaseous particles containing negative and positive ions, is sometimes called a fourth state of matter.

The classic states are solid, liquid and gas. There is at least one other, the Bose-Einstein condensate, which some gases enter when they are close enough to absolute zero. Plasma is another state also
There are three generally accepted states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. However a fourth, plasma, is sometimes also included, however at a high school level ignore this one and stick to the classic three.

There are three traditional states; solid, liquid and gas. But there is also a fourth state; plasma. This is where a gas becomes hot enough for ionisation to occur.
