I needinformation and examples of the 4th state of matter, solid liquid, gas, plasma..

The 4th state of matter is plasma. Did you mean examples of "the 4 states of matter" rather than the "4th state of matter"?

H2O is a wonderful example of the first three:
Solid=ice
liquid=water
gas=steam

As for Plasma, it's debated whether it's technically a different state of matter or not as there's nowhere on earth where it's found.

See here for a decent explanation of it for kids:

Actually, while plasmas are not that common on Earth they are the most abundant state in the universe.

Plasma can be found on Earth as in neon signs and fluorescent lights. These are not natural forms of plasma though. Natural forms would be lightning, stars, and the auroras.

Plasmas exist at extremely low pressures or extremely high temperatures.

Did you know that there is now a 5th state of matter?

Would lava technically qualify as a plasma? I'd be somewhat hesitant to classify it as a liquid myself, though I'm unsure of it's scientific categorization.

Oh my Thomas. Lava is molten rock, a liquid.

Although you might think of a plasma as a liquid like substance due to media influences, it really isn't.
It's more similar to a conductive gas.

Read the above answers then :)

So what is they fifth state of matter?

The most familiar examples of states of matter are solids, liquids, and gases; the most common state of matter in the universe is plasma. Less familiar phases include: quark-gluon plasma; Bose-Einstein condensates and fermionic condensates; strange matter; superfluids and supersolids, and possibly string-net liquids.

They aren't really numbered, so which one is the 4th or 5th is really not defined. The 4th state of matter, in a college physics setting, is normally Plasma.

Ice for solid, water for liquid ,staem for gas and ionized state is for plasma


Well water duznt fit into this plasma ezample that well ,but LASER can stand for am excellent example,, as Light.amplified.stimulated. Amision of radiation (LASER) is an ionized state of atoms that are held in their unstable form and emit radiations used for several purposes... this is taken as an example of plasma state... there r other examples in the universe system as well.
Tell me if it helped?

Actually, sovaira, most common lasers use gasses, not plasma.

A good example of a common plasma would be Plasma Televisions, or Neon Tubes, or Fluorescent lights.

Well most of them use
And this can be taken as an ezample..

No, most of them use gas.

This figure shows the four common states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

This figure shows the four common states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
Consider water as an example. Solid water is ice. Liquid water is, well, water. We call water in its gaseous form "water vapor". A plasma created from water would include electrons, protons (hydrogen atom nuclei), and oxygen atom nuclei (protons and neutrons).

There are special names for most transitions from one state to another. Freezing is turning from a liquid to a solid; melting is turning from a solid to a liquid. The transition from liquid to gas can happen by boiling or evaporation. Condensation is changing from a gas to a liquid.

U so smart

Freaky freaky that's lava baby!
