I find myself in the middle of a heated debate by our Chemists.
Several of them gives the states of matter as: solid liquid, gas,
plasma. The opposing group vehemently objects to the inclusion of
plasma as a state of matter, as they claim it is just a special case
of gases.
Why they think that I, as a physicist, would be a great arbiter of
this is a mystery to me. After a bit of research I am leaning toward
the traditional "solid, liquid, gas" argument; however, before
sticking my head in the lion's mouth I thought I would solicit
opinions here.
