What to Focus On

  • Matter has mass and occupies space.
  • Matter is made of tiny particles.
  • A substance is pure matter with one kind of constituent particle.

  • Plato and Aristotle believed matter is continuous.
  • Kanada, Leucippus, and Democritus believed matter is particulate.
  • Democritus coined the term atom.

  • Solid has definite shape and volume.
  • Liquid has definite volume but no definite shape.
  • Gas has no fixed shape or volume and fills the container.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Only visible things like a chair, water, or air are matter; things like smell or heat are not matter.
