Eli5: What are the other states of matter aside from solid, liquid and gas and why are they not being taught in schools?
In: 12
The states of matter model is now considered obsolete in doctorate level physics. That being said, it makes no sense to consider plasma a different form of matter because there’s no cut off, no point by which we can clearly distinguish gasses and plasma. Plasma is just more ionized gas and the change is completely linear, unlike the changes between solid, liquid and gas
