During secondary school life, we learn about 3 states of matter which is SOLID, LIQUID and GASEOUS state.

Do you know that there is fourth state of matter? o.O

When solid gains energy, it will become a liquid. And when more energy is being apply, the matter will be in gaseous state. Hmmm how about, when more energy is being apply to gas?

ANSWER: If further energy is being applied to a gas, it will become plasma.

The first 3 states of matter are familiar to us on the earth but plasma makeup 99% of all the matters in universe. The sun, the star is made of plasma. Plasma is considered the UNIQUE 4th state of matter because of it properties comparing to gas (Properties of gas: compressible, particles are flow freely).

But as for plasma, it conducts electricity and also responds to magnetic fields.

So this is a rough idea on the existance of fourth state of matter. More on the particles information: http://www.ornl.gov/sci/fed/Theory/tt/ttmcp/plasma.htm
