Like, what is it? A particle, an energy wave?
-
1st state is solid, where all the particles are tightly fixed together.
2nd state is liquid, where all the particles move around one another, and are not fixed.
3rd state is gas, where all the particles have so much energy that they move away, and bounce off of one another if in a confined space, such as a balloon.
4th state is plasma, where so much energy is given to the atoms that their electrons start to detach from them.
And the 5th state, that can be found at 1 Tera Kelvin, (A measurement of heat on the Kevlin scale, somewhat equivalent to Celsius, only starting from absolute zero where there is NO energy at all.) is when the protons and neutrons of the atom melt in to quarks.
Though, there is another 5th state that can be found at very low tempretures very close to absolute0 called Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC).
When you get to a temperature near absolute zero, something special happens. Atoms begin to clump. The whole process happens at temperatures within a few billionths of a degree, so you won't see this at home. When the temperature becomes that low, the atomic parts can't move at all. They lose almost all of their energy. Since there is no more energy to transfer (as in solids or liquids), all of the atoms have exactly the same levels, like twins. The result of this clumping is the BEC. The group of rubidium atoms sits in the same place, creating a "super atom." There are no longer thousands of separate atoms. They all take on the same qualities and, for our purposes, become one blob.

The last one is plasma - look it up. Energy - electromagnetic photons - is not generally regarded as a state of matter

I think yes, energy. Or easily a gas with atoms really far apart
