2. Matter Matter is anything that occupies some space and has mass.
Everything that surrounds us, such as air, food, water, plants, animals, vehicles, clothes and so forth is made up of matter.
Definition of matter based upon its physical and chemical structure:
‘Matter is made up of atoms and molecules’. So, matter is the collection of particles.
Particles have space between them.
Particles of matter are continuously in motion.
Particles of matter attract each other because of intermolecular force of attraction.
Matter can exist in one of three fundamental states: solid, liquid, or gas.
The states of matter take place due to the variations in the molecules of matter.

3. Rigid matter that feels hard and maintains a fixed shape
Solids
Rigid matter that feels hard and maintains a fixed shape
Particles tightly bound
Can’t move freely
Vibrate and twist
Strong IMAF
Two types: Crystalline and Amorphous
Crystalline solids have a long order arrangement of particles, while the particles are randomly arranged in amorphous solids.

4. Fluid matter that feels wet and maintains its volume but not its shape
Liquids
Fluid matter that feels wet and maintains its volume but not its shape
Particles closely held
Free flow from high to lower concentration
Move and mix
Moderate IMAF
Unique properties: Surface Tension, Viscosity
Surface tension is a force that acts on the particles at the surface of a liquid.
Allows liquids to occupy minimum surface area.
Viscosity is a liquid’s resistance to flow.

5. Fluid matter that changes both shape and volume
Gases
Fluid matter that changes both shape and volume
Particles loosely held
Free flow in every direction
Fill the entire available space
Very weak IMAF
Unique Properties: Diffusion, Brownian motion
Diffusion is intermingling of substance by movement of particles from higher to lower concentration.

6. Summary BASIS FOR COMPARISON SOLID LIQUID GAS Meaning
Solid has structural rigidity and a firm shape which can’t be changed easily.
Liquid flows freely, having a definite volume but no permanent shape.
Gas do not have any shape but conform to the shape of the container
Shape and Volume
Fixed shape and volume.
No fixed shape but has volume.
Neither definite shape nor volume.

Can’t be stored without container.
Needs closed container for storage.

7. Effect of Heat on Particles
When heat is added to a substance, the particles move faster. When heat is lost from a substance the particles move slower.
The motion of the particles increases when temperature increases and vice versa.
Heat energy transfers from high temperature matter to low temperature matter.

8. Thermal Expansion
Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in shape, area, and volume in response to a change in temperature.
Temperature is a function of the average molecular kinetic energy of a substance.
When a substance is heated, the kinetic energy of its molecules increases. Thus, the molecules begin vibrating/moving more and usually maintain a greater average separation.
The relative expansion divided by the change in temperature is called the material's coefficient of thermal expansion and generally varies with temperature.
The coefficient of thermal expansion describes how the size of an object changes with a change in temperature.

9. Change in States of Matter
The matter changes its state from one form to another, when heated or cooled, which is covered under the physical change. So, given below are some processes through which the state of matter can be changed:
Melting: Process of change of solid into the liquid.
Freezing: The process which helps in transformation of liquid into solid.
Vaporisation: Process used to change liquid into gas.
Condensation: A process in which gas is transformed into liquid.
Sublimation: When solid is changed into gas, it is called as sublimation.
Disposition: The process through which gas is converted into solid.
When the change is reversed exactly the same amount of heat is released. The heat energy involved in a change of state is called the latent heat.
The latent heat of vaporisation is the amount of heat required to change one kilogram of a liquid to its gas (or vapour) at is boiling point.
