Question

The latest discovered state of matter is

• A. Solid
• B. Liquid
• C. Plasma
• D. Bose-Einstein condensate

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Bose-Einstein condensate

Explanation for the correct option

(D) Bose-Einstein condensate

States of matter

• The behavior of atoms and molecules within a substance is referred to as the "state of matter."
• The physical classification of matter divides the substance into solids, liquids, and gases.

Bose-Einstein condensate

• Bose-Einstein condensate is the name for the state of matter that results when individual atoms or subatomic particles are cooled to absolute zero temperature.
• The most recent state of matter to be found is the Bose-Einstein condensate.
• Examples: Superconductors and Superfluids.

Explanation for incorrect options

(A) Solid

• A solid state of matter is one in which the constituent parts of the substance are compactly arranged.
• Examples include a ball, pen, books, etc.

(B) Liquid

• A liquid state of matter is one in which particles are more loosely or less firmly packed than in a solid state.
• For example, ghee, oil, and water.

(C) Plasma

• Plasma is the name given to the state of matter that includes ions and electrons.
• Foe example, lightning, auroras, and welding arcs.

Therefore, the correct option is (D) Bose-Einstein condensate.
