Like In Science Class, When You Have To Decided Whether Ice For Example Is A Solid, Liquid Or Gas, What Would A Bubble Be Classed As?

This really depends on the situation. If you are talking about a bubble in a glass of water, then the shell of the bubble is a liquid and the inside is a gas - air.
If you are talking about a bubble in a glass paperweight, the shell of the bubble is a solid and again, the inside is gas.
If you are talking about oil and water, the shell of the bubble is a liquid, and the inside is also a liquid.
See where I'm going with this?

A bubble is a liquid held by surface tension enclosing a sperical voulume of gas. If said to be a bubble the air has to be considered therefore a bubble is a liquid and a gas which are seperated by difference in density where the liqiud is enclosing a gas with the same pressure as outside the bubble.

It's a liquid and a gas. Think of it this way - it's a liquid with gas bubbles.
Further thinking, the correct answer would be a gas. The bubble inside of water is simply gas keeping the liquid away from it.

IT is a LIQUID. The confusion is only because of large volume of gas entrapped in it.Just visualise if the liquid portion of it is removed... the gas portion would be nowhere. So it is the liquid which explains and defines it.
Think about boiling water which has small size bubbles... it is a liquid... no doubt. Just extrapolate it towards more air/gas.... and you reach at single large bubble with more gas but is still controlled and defined by liquid film containing it.

The bubble itself is unquestionably a liquid. Liquid, collectively as fluid, nevertheless has some parameters that help it have a shape. as an occasion, in case you place water in a skinny tube, you will see it definitely has a curve downwards in case you look into it very heavily. (it is declared as a meniscus, and it incredibly is concave) It clings to the factor of the glass because of the assumption of floor stress. an identical thought with bubbles - the cleansing soap and different issues interior the liquid impact the floor stress and make it reliable sufficient to fully 'catch' the air.

I suppose the difficulty here is, 'how do you define a bubble'. You could define a bubble in two ways:
Either it is a gas kept in place by a thin spherical film of liquid, or it is a volume of liquid containing a smaller volume of gas.
Which ever way you define a bubble, that's your answer.

It's classed as a liquid. The surface is a liquid, Whatever it contains is a gas.

Good question! The outside is liquid, and the inside is full of gas.

its a gas within a liquid

Gas, it's a Gas surrounded by Liquid.
