Ok so I’ve been seeing these memes where liquid, solid and gas are being recognised and then something is missing but it can’t be important, and it’s plasma. So can someone explain where it sits in terms of how it’s different to the aforementioned states, and why is it overlooked?
In: Physics
There are four fundamental states of matter. Solids, liquids, gases, and plasma. But since most schools only really teaches about the first three states, people often assume that there are only three states of matter, forgetting about plasma.
Plasma differs from the other states by not having electrons bound to nuclei, but instead simply being a “soup” of positively and negatively charged particles.
