Question

maximum number of states of matter

Answer 1

maximum number of state of matter is four.

Answer 2

Solid: A solid holds a definite shape without a container. The molecules are held very close to each other.

Amorphous solid: A solid in which there is no far-range order of the positions of the atoms.

Crystalline solid: A solid in which the constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are packed in a regular order.

Plastic crystal: A molecular solid with long-range positional order but with constituent molecules retaining rotational freedom.

Quasi-crystal: A solid in which the positions of the atoms have long-range order, but is not in a repeating pattern.


Liquid: A mostly non-compressible fluid. Able to conform to the shape of its container but retaining a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure.

Liquid crystal: Properties intermediate between liquids and crystals. Generally, able to flow like a liquid but exhibiting long-range order.Disordered hyperuniformity: A state similar to a liquid and a crystal in properties. Like a crystal, its particles over large distances exhibit uniform density and are unable to compress. Like a liquid, its particles at smaller distances display the same physical properties in all directions

.Gas: A compressible fluid. Not only will a gas conform to the shape of its container but it will also expand to fill the container.

Plasma: Free charged particles, usually in equal numbers, such as ions and entrails. Unlike gases, plasmas may self-generate magnetic fields and electric currents
