Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. It is composed of atoms, which contain protons, neutrons, and electrons. Solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids conform to the shape of their container but have a surface due to gravity, while gases have no definite shape or volume and distribute evenly in their container. Common examples of solids include bricks and ice, liquids include water and milk, and gases include oxygen, helium and carbon dioxide.

-Matter is something which all physical objects are made of--it is a
material substance that occupies space, possesses mass, and is made up mostly of atoms (basic unit of matter) consisting of protons, neutrons, and electrons, that constitutes the observable universe.
Define solid, liquid and gas
SOLID: A solid is a sample of matter that retains its
shape and density when not confined.
LIQUID: A liquid is a sample of matter that conforms to
the shape of a container in which it is held, and which acquires a defined surface in the presence of gravity.
GAS: A gas is defined as a state of matter consisting of
particles that have neither a defined volume nor defined shape.
EXAMPLES: solid - bricks, ice, wood, paper, blackboard liquid - milk, water, honey, blood, wine gas - helium, hydrogen, oxygen, air, carbon dioxide Kyla Mae Albaño 8-Buttercup
