    The fourth state of matter is often said to be plasma.

    You can read further details of it here: Plasma (physics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    This is basically a very hot ionised gas. You can make it in your microwave quite easily with a grape, but it may well damage the microwave.

    This state of matter can be seen in the form of lightning. Ball lightning is a longer lasting version (or at least this is the most favoured explanation). The Wikipedia page above details other examples.

    If you have further questions, feel free to ask:)
