What is the definition of matter, and what are the three states of matter commonly found on earth?
Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. The three states of matter commonly found on earth are solids, liquids, and gases.
Explain the difference between weight and mass.
Explain the difference between weight and mass.
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force that gravity exerts on an object.

Study Notes
- Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
- Solids, liquids, and gases are the three states of matter commonly found on earth.
- A fourth state of matter, plasma, occurs naturally in the interiors of stars.
- Some samples of matter appear to have properties of solids, liquids, and/or gases at the same time.
- The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter in it.
- Weight refers to the force that gravity exerts on an object.
- The law of conservation of matter states that there is no detectable change in the total quantity of matter present when matter converts from one type to another or changes among solid, liquid, or gaseous states.
- Brewing beer and the operation of batteries provide examples of the conservation of matter.
- The presence of charged particles imparts unique properties to plasmas that justify their classification as a state of matter distinct from gases.
- Matter can have properties of more than one state when it is a mixture.
