Matter

Matter is defined as anything that has mass and volume, classified into three states: solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither fixed shape nor volume. A table summarizes the properties of each state, including shape, volume, ease of compression, diffusion rate, molecular packing, and particle attraction.

• Matter is defined as anything that has mass and
volume.
• Matter can be classified into three types depending
on their shape and properties.
• The three types of matter and known as the three
states of matter.
• They are solid,liquid and gas.
Note:volume is the amount of space occupied by matter.

Mass is the quantity of materials that a body contains.


Matter
• A solid is any substance which has a fixed shape
and volume or size.
• Example book,stone,onion,etc
• A liquid is any substance which has no fixed shape
but has a fixed volume.
• Example water,petrol,milk,soup,etc
• A gas is any substance which has no fixed shape nor
volume.
Matter
• Example air,water vapor,hydrogen gas, etc

• The next slide is a table showing a summary of the


characteristics of the three states of matter.
