Best Answer

According to my chemistry professor, there are 12 MAIN states of matter.

Solid

Liquid

Gas

Plasma

Superfluid

Supersolid

Bose-Einstein condensate

Fermionic condensate

String-net liquid

Supercritical fluid

Colloid

Degenerate matter

These are the main states of matter but some of the ones above can be divided into more specific states. Most people say there is 3 states of matter solid, liquid, and gas. you might hear some people include plasma or Bose-Einstein condensate. But you probably never meet someone who knows all 12 main states of matter.
