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.

Matter is always continuous, so it can be subdivided forever without limit.

Democritus and John Dalton mean the same thing in atomic theory.
