Hint Answer % Correct
Able to conform to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure. Liquid
100%
It holds a definite shape and volume without a container. The particles are held very close to each other. Solid
100%
A compressible fluid. Not only will take the shape of its container but it will also expand to fill the container. Gas
89%
Free charged particles, usually in equal numbers, such as ions and electrons. Plasma
78%
a phase in which a large number of bosons all inhabit the same quantum state, in effect becoming one single wave/particle. Bose-Einstein Condensate
22%
Similar to the 8th, it can move without friction but retains a rigid shape. Supersolid
22%
A solid in which there is no far-range order of the positions of the atoms. Amorphous solid
11%
A state of matter that can exist under very high pressure while excited by super lasers. Black superionic ice
11%
A solid in which atoms, molecules, or ions are packed in regular order. Crystalline solid
11%
Matter under very high pressure. Degenerate matter
11%
Found inside white dwarf stars. Electrons remain bound to atoms but are able to transfer to adjacent atoms. Electron-degenerate matter
11%
Similar to the 5th, but composed of fermions. Fermionic Condensate
11%
Properties intermediate between liquids and crystals. Generally, able to flow like a liquid but exhibiting long-range order. Liquid crystal
11%
Found in neutron stars. Vast gravitational pressure compresses atoms so strongly that the electrons are forced to combine with protons via inverse beta-decay, resulting in a super dense conglomeration of neutrons. Neutron-degenerate matter
11%
A molecular solid with long-range positional order but with constituent molecules retaining rotational freedom. Plastic crystal
11%
A disordered state in a system of interacting quantum spins which preserves its disorder to very low temperatures, unlike other disordered states. Quantum spin liquid
11%
A phase in which quarks become free and able to move independently in an ocean of gluons. May be briefly attainable in particle accelerators, or possibly inside neutron stars. Quark-gluon plasma
11%
A solid in which the positions of the atoms have long-range order, but this is not in a repeating pattern. Quasi-crystal
11%
A state of matter that can only exist at ultra-low temperatures and consists of atoms inside of atoms. Rydberg polaron
11%
A type of quark matter that may exist inside some neutron stars close to the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff limit (approximately 2–3 solar masses). May be stable at lower energy states once formed. Strange matter
11%
Atoms in this state have apparently unstable arrangements, like a liquid, but are still consistent in the overall pattern, like a solid. String-net liquid
11%
is a phenomenon of exactly zero electrical resistance and expulsion of magnetic fields occurring in certain materials when cooled below a characteristic critical temperature. Superconductivity
11%
At sufficiently high temperatures and pressures, the distinction between liquid and gas disappears. Supercritical fluid
11%
A phase achieved by a few cryogenic liquids at extreme temperature at which they become able to flow without friction. Superfluid
11%
A state of where an object can have movement even at its lowest energy state. Time crystals
