1. • • The state of fire is plasma (mostly). Science cannot precisely describe the true nature of fire, but to clear up the doubts of inquisitive minds, fire is most similar to plasma! Plasma resembles a gas more than any other state of matter, but it behaves very differently from a gas.

   Is fire a gas or a solid?

   • Combustion resulting in fire can only occur between gases (liquid or solid fuels must first be vaporised for there to be a flame) and that gives us our first clue as to how to categorise fire – it’s a gas, right? Gas, liquid or solid?

   Is fire a liquid or gas?

   • This fact eliminates the slightest possibility of fire being a solid, liquid, or gas. All types of fire gradually die out and cannot continue to exist in their natural state forever, unlike the above. For example, a funeral pyre would eventually die out if it was not constantly furnished with oxygen and flammable material.

   Is fire a gas or a flame?

   • Like a gas, it expands to fill the volume in which it’s contained, whereas a flame does not. But what we can conclude (for now) is that, of the fundamental states of matter, fire is most like a plasma. In fact, some very hot flames do contain plasma – when the energy inside them is sufficient to ionise enough of the air molecules.

   Does plasma resemble a gas?

   • Plasma resembles a gas more than any other state of matter, but it behaves very differently from a gas. Every object that has ever existed on this planet can be classified into three basic states of matter: solid, liquid or gas. That’s what we were told to believe in our science classes, right? But… what about fire?

   Is fire a separate element?

   • Before the advent of the idea of plasma, man believed that fire was actually a separate element. Plasma is a cloud of protons, neutrons, and electrons where all the electrons have isolated themselves from their respective molecules and atoms, giving plasma the unique ability to act as a whole, rather than as a bunch of individual atoms.

   Are liquids good for fire?

   • Liquids don’t have to conform to a particular shape and they don’t expand to fill the container they are placed in – so it’s looking good for fire. But they do have a fixed volume, whereas fire doesn’t, so that’s another state of matter that doesn’t quite fit. You might think solid seems like an unlikely answer to the conundrum, and you’d be right.

   How do crystals work? Graham Baird. Sitting around a campfire, you can feel its heat, smell the woody smoke, and hear it crackle. If you get too close, it burns your eyes and stings your nostrils. You could stare at the bright flames forever as they twist and flicker in endless incarnations... But what exactly are you looking at?
