Oxygen (O2) as a gas still has the same properties as liquid oxygen. The liquid state is colder and denser but the molecules are still the same.

The scientists who worked with the Bose-Einstein condensate received a Nobel Prize for their work in 1995. But what makes a state of matter? It's about the physical state of molecules and atoms.

You should know about solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, and a new one called Bose-Einstein condensates. The first four have been around a long time.

As of 1995, scientists have identified five states of matter. They may discover one more by the time you get old. 

Matter is also related to light and electromagnetic radiation. Even though matter can be found all over the universe, you usually find it in just a few forms.
