what is nature of matter?? Explain it with all its types example definition
Answers
Explanation:
Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. ... Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither a defined shape nor a defined volume.
Definition Of Matter:-
All the buildings, the bridges, the atomic particles are all matter. Even our DNA, the air, the molecules inside our bodies, everything is matter.
Nature of Matter
Solids
Solids are all those substances having their particles very close to each other. There exist strong intermolecular forces between these particles. The particles are firmly held in their positions. These particles have only vibratory motion. Solids have a definite shape and definite volume. Examples include Wood, iron, aluminium etc.
Liquids
Liquids comprise of all those substances with weak intermolecular forces. The particles are capable of minimum movement. They have a definite volume. However, they do not have a definite shape. They usually take the shape of the container in which we place them. Examples include water, milk, etc.
Gases
Gases are those forms of matter having very weak forces between their molecules. Hence, in gases, the molecules are free to move. The distance between molecules is large as compared to solids and liquids. Gases have neither fixed shape nor a definite volume. They tend to completely occupy the container in which they are placed. E.g. air, oxygen, hydrogen, methane, etc.
