| 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 | 11%
