What is physical state mean in science?

Answer 1

Physical state in science means how the object is represented at a given temperature. There are 4 phases, but only 3 of which we really see. Solid, liquid, and gas are the 3 major phases, and at times we can see plasma. But a physical state depends on pressure and temperature and how particles within a molecule or element are closely or loosely packed together creating those different phases.

But in short, it is whether an object is solid, liquid, or a gas at any given moment in time.

Answer 2

State of matter are different types of phases of matter.

The classic phases (states) of matter are: solid, liquid, gas and plasma.

Now are known many other rare, strange "exotic" states of matter.

Answer 3

The term physical state means the current phase of an element or compound : solid, liquid, gas, plasma (very hot), or Bose-Einstein condensate (very cold).
