What are the five phases of matter or states of matter?

Answer 1

Freezing, melting, boiling, evaporation, vapoization condensation, sublimation, and deposition.

solid-->liquid=melting

liquid-->gas=vaporization or evaporating

gas-->plasma=ionization

plasma-->gas=deionization

gas-->liquid=condensation

liquid-->solid=freezing

solid-->gas=supplimation

gas-->solid=deposition

some states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, plasma, colloid, bose-einstein condensate, super fluids, and super solids. thats all I know.

Answer 2

There was a time when things were solids, liquids or gases. Then came a fourth state of matter called plasma. Now we are working in the cryogenic area of condensed matter physics, and other exotic phases of matter exist here in this region. There are the Bose-Einstein condensate, superfluid, and superconducting phases. It may be possible to make a case for more, too, and you can read a bit more about condensed matter physics by using the link below to the Wikipedia post on this subject.

Answer 3

Matter can exist in four phases (or states), solid, liquid, gas, and plasma plus a few other extreme phases, like critical fluids and degenerate gases.

Generally, as a solid is heated (or as pressure decreases), it will change to a liquid form, and will eventually become a gas. For example, ice (frozen water) melts into liquid water when it is heated. As the water boils, the water evaporates and becomes water vapor.

Sometimes, a solid will go directly from solid to gas - this is call subliming. An example of sublimation is dry ice, the solid (frozen) form of carbon dioxide, CO2, which turns into gaseous carbon dioxide at standard temperature and pressure - there is no liquid phase of CO2 at standard temperatue and pressure.

Answer 4

The five phases of matter are solid, liquid, gas, plasma, and Bose-Einstein condensate. Each phase has distinct properties based on the arrangement and movement of its particles.
