 Matter can exist in '''different fundamental forms: solid, liquid, gas, plasma''' (in different phases) as well as various intermediate or exotic states that arise under extreme conditions, such as extremely low temperatures, high densities, or exceptionally high energy levels.
-The distinct states of Matter often result from '''variations in the interactions and organization of their constituent components''' (primarily atoms and molecules). The number of these interacting components can range from just two to an immense multitude. This diverse organization gives rise to unique collective Behaviors and emergent Properties that define each state. Consequently, states of Matter exhibit qualitatively different characteristics - such as volume, shape, spatial arrangement, dynamics, internal motion, collective motion, electric charge, etc. - leading to a wide array of Physical Phenomena.

+Matter can exist in different fundamental forms: solid, liquid, gas, plasma (in different phases) and many other more intermediate or exotic states, existing under extreme conditions like extreme low temperature, extreme density, or extremely high energy.
-The distinction is made based on qualitative differences in properties. Matter in the solid state maintains a fixed volume (assuming no change in temperature or air pressure) and shape, with component particles (atoms, molecules or ions) close together and fixed into place. Matter in the liquid state maintains a fixed volume (assuming no change in temperature or air pressure), but has a variable shape that adapts to fit its container. Its particles are still close together but move freely. Matter in the gaseous state has both variable volume and shape, adapting both to fit its container. Its particles are neither close together nor fixed in place. Matter in the plasma state has variable volume and shape, and contains neutral atoms as well as a significant number of ions and electrons, both of which can move around freely.
+The different states of matter are often due to a different interaction and organization of its components (essentially atoms and molecules). The number of interacting components can range from two to an extremely large number. The different organization produces the particular collective behaviors and new emerging properties that characterize the various states. The states of matter are therefore characterized by qualitatively different properties (volume, shape, relative positions, dynamics, internal relative motion, collective motion, electric charge, etc.), which lead to different phenomena.
-The term "phase" is sometimes used as a synonym for state of matter, but it is possible for a single compound to form different phases that are in the same state of matter. For example, ice is the solid state of water, but there are multiple phases of ice with different crystal structures, which are formed at different pressures and temperatures.
+Gradually new states of matter are identified and studied. So '''this list does not claim to be exhaustive'''. In any case, there is a lack of a fundamental state of matter, sought by all, of which we still do not have observational and experimental evidence, except for the gravitational effects on the dynamics of large cosmic structures, galaxies, clusters and super-clusters, and the suggestive phenomena that we call strong and weak gravitational lenses.
