What is MATTER ?
Matter is anything that has:
1. Weight
2.Occupies Space
It means that anything that has volume and weight is matter.Weight means that itat thing acn be weighed on a weighing scale.Volume implies that it occupie space.
Stones ,clouds,Stars Planets,Plants Animals Food,Water,Gases around us...even asmall speck of sand is also matter.
Physical nature of matter:-
Matter is made up of particles,how small are the particles is beyond imagination.Put a drop of Dettol in half bucket of water.What is the observation?You can smell Dettol after a few seconds.Add water to the bucket.Can you smell Dettol now?Yes ...It implies that the small particles of Dettol are imparting its characteristics to water..even if the quantity of water is increased.
Characteristics of Particles of Matter :
1.Particles of matter have SPACE between them.
2.particles are CONTINUOUSLY MOVING.
3.Particles of matter ATTRACT each other.
In the above experiment we observe that the particles of Dettol are imparting their characteritic to water...They get dissoved in water without increasing the level of water ignificantly.Where do the particles go?Which space do they occupy?
They dissolve in water.The particles of Dettol get diffused in the particles of water.Particle of one type of matter ocupies the space betwee the particles of other type of Matter .
