> "Well for electronic components your basic three chioces [sic] for states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas."* Three states of matter is basically a fairy-tale we use as a first, easily understandable basic working model of matter. In reality there are so many states that Wikipedia has a dedicated page to list them: "List of states of matter" [1] This is also the reason why every physicist cringes when the usual popular science mags announce the discovery of "a fourth state of matter" about once every year. > "Silicon crystals are naturally solid-state" Solid room temperature silicon can be in a crystalline state or an amorphous state. While amorphous silicon may appear solid it has many properties of a liquid and thats where the word "liquid" in LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) comes from. So, its not that easy.
