[Verse 1]
Solid, liquid, gas
But (Hey!) not so fast
Did you explore
If there are more?
[Chorus]
As a matter of fact
The states of matter
How particles act
Stick together… or scatter
[Bridge]
Can be more than three
[Verse 2]
Quite a strange reality
A single quantum entity
Behaving as one
Did you ever wonder… (how come?)
[Chorus]
As a matter of fact
The states of matter
How particles act
Stick together… or scatter
[Bridge]
The states of matter
(Matter)
Mama (Plasma)
Come on
(Give me Quark-Gluon)
Or fermions
(Rather than bosons)
[Chorus]
As a matter of fact
The states of matter
How particles act
Stick together… or scatter
[Outro]
The states of matter
(Matter)
A SCIENCE NOTE
The classic three states of matter are:
Solid – Has a fixed shape and volume. The particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place.
Example: Ice, rock, wood.
Liquid – Has a fixed volume but takes the shape of its container. The particles are close together but can move past one another.
Example: Water, oil, alcohol.
Gas – Has neither a fixed shape nor volume. The particles are far apart and move freely.
Example: Oxygen, carbon dioxide, helium.
But there are more states of matter:
Plasma – An ionized gas with free electrons and ions. Found in stars, lightning, and neon signs.
Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) – A state at temperatures near absolute zero where atoms behave as a single quantum entity.
Fermionic Condensate – Similar to BEC but made of fermions (rather than bosons).
Quark-Gluon Plasma – Exists at extremely high energy densities, such as just after the Big Bang.
