Gas
Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.
Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter. A gas can best be characterized as a fluid of neutrally-charged atoms, which have sufficient thermal energy to prevent intermolecular bonding. Gas also has no fixed volume and can expand to fill any area.
In 2376. during a Jem'Hadar attack on Deep Space 9, a cloud of polymer gas was released from a temp bank of atmospheric regulators. A Benzite, Monyodin, was exposed to the gas which dissolved the alveoli in his lungs, resulting in his death. (DS9 novel: Avatar)
