Page 2 - Note States of matter
P. 2
We humans are also made up of matter.
Matter makes up the walls of your house and your classroom.
Matter is large as well as small.
So, we can say that objects occupy space.
But objects have mass too.
MATTER AND ITS PARTICLES
Anything we see and can feel is made up of matter.
Matter is composed of very small particles. These small particles are called
atoms.
For example: silver is made of one kind of atom- silver atoms.
All atoms are too small to be seen with an aided eye or even a microscope.
Matter can change from one form to another.
Like ice (solid form of water) in soda melts and converted into liquid state.
Thus , we can conclude that, there are three states of matter:-
1. SOLID
2. LIQUID
3. GAS
