If by categories you mean phases, then there are 3 commonly recognized phases with a possible fourth as well.

The three states are:

Solids

Liquids

What are the 3 categories of matter represented by rock salt hard plastic and aluminum foil?

The three categories of matter represented by rock salt, hard plastic, and aluminum foil are: ionic compound (rock salt), polymer (hard plastic), and metal (aluminum foil). Each material falls into a different classification based on its chemical composition and properties.


What are the two main categories matter is classified into?

Matter is classified into two main categories: pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are further divided into elements and compounds, while mixtures are divided into homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.


What are the two categories that matter can be divided into?

Matter can be divided into two categories: pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are made up of only one type of atom or molecule, while mixtures contain two or more different substances physically combined.


What three materials are not solid liquid or gases?

Plasma, Bose-Einstein condensates, and fermionic condensates are three examples of materials that fall outside the categories of solid, liquid, and gas. Plasma is a fourth state of matter characterized by high energy ions and electrons, while Bose-Einstein condensates and fermionic condensates are ultra-cold states of matter that exhibit wave-like behaviors.


What two main categories is matter classified into?

Matter is classified into two main categories: pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are made up of only one type of element or compound, while mixtures contain more than one substance that are not chemically combined.
