Do you consider the bacteria as a living matter?if yes
then what kind of matter is the bacteria?

Yes i know it's living, but what kind of matter it has, for example our bodies consist of bones and flesh,
but what kind of matter is the bacteria?
Hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, potassium, and lots of other elements, which form a variety of molecules that our cells also have, like lipids, DNA, RNA, amino acids, proteins, which form simple structures within the bacterial cell walls.

cells

Of course, we could just jump to your preferred answer "GodDidIt" and move to the next thread...

Or you could tell us what answer you are looking for and we can tell you what, if anything, is wrong with it....

Now if we pressed billions of bacteria together in a specific place,will
they become visible by the naked eye?

not sure how many it would take, but yes, you can see the globs that a large number of bacteria can form. You still won't see the individual bacteria without a microscope.

What is the state of matter for the bacteria?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_of_matter
This should be interesting...

Since life contains mostly water, bacteria, just like humans, are primarily a liquid. It contains other liquids, some suspended, dissolved, and colloidal solids (occasionally as larger pieces of matter), and gases from the atmosphere and from internal functions. Just like in all other life on Earth.

Should heating all kinds of bacteria at the boiling degree turn it to the gaseous state?

How do you know? what about the water in the bacteria, shouldn't it turn to the gaseous state
and then the bacteria will lose the water and die, but some bacteria will survive in higher
temperature, how you explain it? if you don't know then you can regard it as an ignorant question.

How do you know?
Because I was taught basic science when I was young.

The water will. How long that takes depends on the temperature. But while bacteria are largely water, they aren't entirely.
Or else they wouldn't be bacteria, they'd be water.
