- Solids
- Liquids
- A substance that flows freely but is of constant, having a consistency like that of water or oil.
-Gases
- a substance or matter in a state in which it will expand freely to fill the whole of a container, having no fixed
shape (unlike a solid) and no fixed volume (unlike a liquid).
- Plasma
-To put it very simply, a plasma is an ionized gas, a gas into which sufficient energy is provided to free electrons
from atoms or molecules and to allow both species, ions and electrons, to coexist.
Physical and Chemical Properties of Matter
- Physical Properties
- Physical Properties: Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the
composition of matter. Physical properties are used to observe and describe matter. Physical
properties include: appearance, texture, color, odor, melting point, boiling point, density,
solubility, polarity, and many others.
- Chemical Properties
- Chemical properties are properties that can be measured or observed only when matter
undergoes a change to become an entirely different kind of matter. They include reactivity, flammability,
and the ability to rust. Reactivity is the ability of matter to react chemically with other substances.
How matter changes Chemically and physically.
- Chemical changes
- You added enough energy to create a phase change from solid to liquid. Physical actions,
such as changing temperature or pressure, can cause physical changes. No chemical
changes took place when you melted the ice. The water molecules are still water molecules.

Elements that make up Matter.
Solids, liquids, gases, and plasma are all matter. When all
atoms that make up a substance are the same, then that
substance is an element. Elements are made of only one kind
of atom. Because of this, elements are called "pure"
substances.
Atoms that make up Matter.
Everything in the universe (except energy) is made of matter,
and, so, everything in the universe is made of atoms. An atom
itself is made up of three tiny kinds of particles called
subatomic particles: protons,neutrons, and electrons.
Molecules that make up Matter.
Matter is made up of extremely tiny particles called atoms
and molecules. Atoms and molecules make up the three
common states of matter on Earth—solids, liquids, and
gases. The particles of a liquid are attracted to one another,
are in motion, and are able to move past one another.
