Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Bose-Einstein condensate.
Key Points
- Matters are generally categorized into 3 states:
- Solid: Particles are held very close to each other and can't move.
- Liquid: Particles are close to each other but they can move around.
- Gas: Particles are far from each other as compared to those present in solid or liquid states and their movement is easy and fast.
- Two more states are discovered under extreme circumstances:
- Plasma: A superheated matter, so hot that the electrons are ripped away from the atoms forming an ionized gas.
- Bose-Einstein Condensate: A group of atoms cooled to absolute zero temperature(-273.15 oC).
