Answer :
★ Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
Matter exists in three physical states : solid, liquid and gas.
- A solid is composed of matter where the particles have strong attractive forces, are close together and have fixed positions. Solids have a definite shape and a definite volume.
- A liquid is composed of matter where the particles are close together but have weak attractive forces so that, they are able to move past one another therefore, liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape.
- A gas is made up of atoms or molecules with large interparticle distances, which move independently in all directions in random motion. Gases neither have definite volume nor definite shape
