Tag: States of matter

Materials in all forms, i.e. solids, liquids and gases are all made up of matter. All matter is made up of atoms. Atoms are made up of three types  particles, the protons, neutrons and electrons. Matter can exist as elements, mixtures and compounds. Materials can be classified as metals or non-metals. Some metals are more reactive than others. Some materials are acids bases or salts. Speeds of reaction are affected by temperature, concentration, surface area and the presence of catalysts.

Today the topic we are going to study is the Kinetic Model of Matter. We have all studied it in the previous articles, easy wasn’t it? Let’s get started!

A matter is any substance that has mass and occupies space. There are three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. Most of the matters can exist in all three states.
