Question

how many types of matter are there????ND what are they

Answer 1

There are three types of matter is there .


1 . solid
2. liquid
3. gas


Hope it helps uuuu

Answer 2

State often refers to the phenomenological response of a substance, in certain conditions (of temperature, pressure or some external fields), to a very specific type of probing. Thus the standard gas, liquid and solidstates are mostly associated with the mechanical properties of the phases. Now, because there are many other ways to probe a substance properties than simply pressing on it or shearing it (like shining light on it, or checking how it responds to an electric field, or still how does it conduct electricity etc…) there are in principle many many phases that one may talk about (clearly many more than 5!!). Plasma for example is a state of matter where the substance is seen to behave in a quite specific way to an externally applied electric field/magnetic field. Glassis a solid state but upon shining X-ray on it one may infer that the structure is amorphous so it is a solid state different from solid states with an X-ray signal that would relate to a crystalline ordering of the material’s building blocks. Likewise, liquids are not all of the same kind: there are those who display linear stress-strain-rate curves that are called Newtonian and those with non-linear stress-strain-rate curves that are called non-Newtonian and so on and so-forth. As far as experimental phenomenology is concerned the only bound to the number of states one may discriminate could the kind of ways we imagine to probe a material’s property.
