What is Matter?

Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass

The states of Matter?

Solid, Liquid and Gas

Propities of solids and particle arrangement

The propities of Solids are that they keep the same shape and volume, their particles are packed closely together and are hard to compress (squash). The particle arangement is very close together - strong intermolecukar bonds, aranged neatly (lattice formation) and can only vibrate

Propities of liquids and particle arrangement

Propities of liquids are that they have a fixed volume, can chnage shape deoending on the container, can flow and are difficult to compress. The particle arangement are close together (weaker bonds than solids), have a random arangement and particles can slide oast each other.
