The five states of matter are Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma and Bose –Einstein Condensate.
Plasma is a mixture of super excited and highly energized particles of electrons and ions.
A Bose-Einstein condensate is a state of matter in which extremely cold atoms clump together and act as if they were a single atom. Only bosons can make a Bose–Einstein condensate, when they are close to 0 K (or −273° C, or −459.67 °F).
