 Define matter?

-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
