What is Matter?

Anything that has mass and takes up space.

What is a Solid?

A state of matter with definite shape and volume.

What is a Liquid?

A state of matter with definite volume, but takes the shape of its container.

What is a Gas?

A state of matter with no definite shape or volume; it expands to fill its container.
