7 States of Matter (Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Gases)

In this video, we will be going over the 7 states of matter beyond solids, liquids, and gases. We will first discuss 3 temperature zones. The first one is the normal zone. In the normal zone, there are solids, liquids, and gases. Second, we have the plasma zone. The plasma zone only occurs at high temperatures when you can bombard any atom with high energy. Finally, third, we have the condensation zone. The condensation zone occurs at ultra low temperatures when particles tend towards the lowest energy state. In these 3 temperature zones, we will now discuss the 7 states of matter.

Most of us, on Earth, have a familiarity with three phases of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. But at higher temperatures, the atoms making up matter ionize, creating a plasma, and at really high temperatures, individual protons and neutrons break down into a quark-gluon plasma. Meanwhile, at very low temperatures, the different types of particles from either Bose-Einstein or Fermionic condensates. All told, there are 7 known states of matter, not merely three.

How many states of matter are there? When you were young, you probably learned about the three that are most common to our experience: solid, liquid, and gas. All of these occur with regularity here on Earth’s surface: rocks and ices are solids, water, and many oils are liquids, while the atmosphere that we breathe is a gas. However, these three common states of matter are all based on neutral atoms; restrictions that the Universe is not bound by.

If you bombard an atom with enough energy, you’ll kick the electrons off of it, creating an ionized plasma: the fourth state of matter. Turn up the energy high enough, and even protons and neutrons will disintegrate, forming a quark-gluon plasma: arguably the fifth state of matter.

But there are two additional states of matter that not only can exist but do: Bose-Einstein Condensates and Fermionic Condensates, the sixth and seventh states of matter. At present, they’re only achievable under extreme laboratory conditions, but they might play an important role in the Universe itself.

Here on Earth, everything is made up of atoms. Some atoms bond together to form molecules; other atoms exist as standalone entities. Regardless of the number of atoms in any particular chemical compound — water, oxygen, methane, helium, etc. — the combination of temperature and pressure conditions determines whether it’s a solid, liquid, or gas.

The seven states of matter:
1. Solids
2. Liquids
3. Gases
4. Plasma
5. Quark-Gluon Plasma
6. Bose-Einstein Condensates
7. Fermionic Condensates

For state of matter, a p/V or p/T graph would likely make more sense than a linear Temperature scale

Nice video! It's great for learning new stuff

In what state (s) of matter is the substance between point B and A

For a channel called "Try to be Useful" this sure wasnt.
