Yes it is a widely accepted fact.Though id like you to know that there r infact six states of matter.
Four states of matter are well known: solid, fluid, gaseous and plasma. All of these are thermal states: their particles have the heat motion i.e. motion in all 3 possible dimensions.

One of the states of matter is the Bose-Einstein condensate. It has zero thermal-energy.

Taking this into consideration, the filaments should belong to “the fifth state of matter”. Sparks, electron beams in TV, lightnings, ion jets in the spacecraft Deep Space 1, in accelerator machines like CERN, ions in the future fusion-reactor, solar coronae, flares, jets of young stars, jets at black holes and at neutron stars (electric magnetars) belong to this most energetic state of matter.


So this brings the total to six.

from 0,1,2,3,4,5

0. Bose-Einstein condensate
1. solid
2. liquid
3. gaseous
4. plasma
5. filament

Have a nice day .

Four states of matter are well known: solid, fluid, gaseous and plasma. All of these are thermal states: their particles have the heat motion i.e. motion in all 3 possible dimensions. The energy of this heat motion produces these four thermal states of matter - in relation to the attractive electric forces among their particles e.g. in ice-crystal or water.
But know the fifth states of matter has been found out.

There are now five states of matter:
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Plasma
Bose-Einstein Condensate

Plasma is made up of super-excited particles that are mostly ionized gases that emit fluorescence when electrified. Plasma is present in tubelights, lamps and neon bulbs

Bose-Einstein Condensate is the state of matter that is most difficult to achieve. It was discovered by Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein. It is very uncommon. There are no known uses for it yet.

the four states of matter r solid, liquid, gas and plasma. u know the first 3. plasma is obtained at only very high temperature.

The fourth state is Plasma after
Solid, Liquid and Gas

There are 4 states of matter namely, gas, liquid, solid and plasma(in the form of highly ionised gas of our elements. There are many phases in each state and thus you have to be aware of whether you are talking about the general states or phases in each states.

You ask for 4 so the the forth is Plasma. You know the other 3 anyway.

We cannot ignore the first answer that points out other stages also, hats off to Aqua.

There are 5 states of matter as Solid,Liquid,Gas,Plasma & Bose-Einstein condensate(since 1995)

yes there are four states of matter rather than three they are
a)solids
b)liquids
c)gases
d)plasma (not the blood plasma)

Yes the fourth one is the plasma. Found in the highly hot regions. For example it is found in the sun. There is a notion that it is a form of radiation and energy.
