Description

Internet Links

Matter, matter everywhere. Except in a vacuum of course. Matter is 
everything. We've already told you that chemistry is the study of matter 
and how it changes and interacts with other matter. But what is matter?

Properties describe matter. A block of wood, milk, and air all have 
properties. All the material on earth is in three states-solid, liquid, and 
gas. The 'state' of the matter refers to the group of matter with the same 
properties. In other words, you group the objects together according to 
their properties.

Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of microscopic particles, but 
the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. The following 
figure illustrates the microscopic differences.
