without either, there is no bubble.. it’s a mixture of both air (or gas) and liquid soap
 
Sorry but a bubble doesn't fit the properties of a liquid. Liquids have no fixed shape and you can not squeeze the molecules closer.

Dude what are you talking about, people already explained its a mixture of both, and a bubble doesn't have a fixed shape because its liquid, at a molecular level the shape of the bubble moves alot and on a macro level the bubble will busrt or disperse when theres enough external force so its not a fixed shape at all

If i pour water in a glass does that water stop being a liquid because it has a momentary singular state? No its still a liquid that just conforms to whatever shape is being applied to it no different then a bubble..sorry to burst your bubble

A liquid takes the shape of it's container, so pouring water into a glass is irrelevant.

A bubble does emphatically have a fixed shape. Have you ever seen a cube bubble? or a pyramid shaped bubble?

Although I agree with you on one point, a bubble has a momentary singular state. In the context of space and time a bubble doesn't last very long compared to a rock, or liquid in a bottle. But for the few seconds that a bubble is suspended in mid air, I'd have to reject the notion of it being a liquid. Furthermore I'd have to reject the assertion that it's a gas.

Water vs a bubble are clearly two different substances. Just as different as water vs a rock. The difference (imo) is that a bubble only lasts for a few seconds, it has a shorter life span than a gas, liquid or solid.

So if its not a liquid mixed with air then what do you think it is? And yes a bubble is def different from water or any liquid because it doesn't have the same gas to liquid ratio

It is like pouring water in a glass the difference for a bubble is that the "container" is on the inside of the liquid this time.

How does a bubble form in the first place? There can be no bubble without a liquid

What happens when a bubble bursts? The liquid seperates allowing the air to escape and then the liquid dissapates back to the earth
 
Guys... a bubble isn't a state of matter or an element... it's an object made up of multiple elements or compounds in multiple states. Sorry to ruin the fun.

Gasses, liquids, solids and plasma are states of matter that are typically mutable based on many factors but most importantly heat.

eg: Is a rock a liquid? Ask a volcano.

The scientific community's theory is that matter can only be 4 states is what I'm challenging;

1. Gas
2. Liquid
3. Solid
4. Plasma


My theory is that a bubble is neither. A bubble is, well, a bubble. The life span of a bubble is shorter than other states of matter but while a bubble is suspended in mid air, it doesn't meet any of the criteria of the main four states of matter.
