Matter is defined as something that has mass and volume. There are unlimited states of matter, but only 5 have been achieved thus so far: Bose Einstein Condensate (BEC), Solid, Liquid, Gas, and Plasma.

Generally, as matter is heated, its particles gain energy to break the bonds between each other, and become more "independent", and the opposite goes for cooling.
