The document defines matter as anything that has mass and takes up space. It explains that matter exists in three states - solid, liquid, and gas - which are distinguished by the arrangement of their particles and how they behave. Solids have a definite shape and volume from tightly packed particles, while liquids take the shape of their container but maintain a constant volume, and gases fill their container and have particles far apart.

•definite shape
•takes up definite amount of
space
•particles tightly packed

8. liquid
•No definite shape
•Takes up definite amount
of space

9. A liquid
takes the
shape of its
container
but its
volume
does not
change.

11. gas
•Takes shape of its container
•Fills its container
•Particles far apart
