  Classification of Matter & States of Matter | Simple NEET Chemistry Notes 1.2 Nature of Matter (NEET Notes  Classification of Matter and States of Matter explained with simple diagrams for easy NEET revision. - Dr.Sanjaykumar Pawar  What is Matter? Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space . Every object around us is matter. Examples: book, pen, pencil, water, air, plants, animals. All living and non-living things are made up of matter. Key idea: If it has weight (mass) and takes up space (volume) → it is matter. 1.2.1 States of Matter Basic idea Matter exists in three physical states : Solid Liquid Gas Particle nature of matter (VERY IMPORTANT for NEET) 1. Solid state Particles are very closely packed . Arranged in a fixed, orderly pattern . Particles have very little movement (only vibration). Strong force of attraction between particles. Resulting properties: Definite shape Definite volume Not compressible easily Ex...

Study Notes: Nature of Matter The Nature of Matter 1. What is Matter? Matter is defined as anything that has mass and occupies space (volume). Everything in our environment—from the books we read to the air we breathe—is made of matter. Key Rule: If it has weight and takes up room, it is matter! 2. The Three States of Matter Matter exists in three physical states: Solid, Liquid, and Gas . The behavior of these states depends on how their particles are arranged. Property Solid Liquid Gas Particle Arrangement Held very close; orderly. Close together; disorderly. Very far apart. Movement Vibrate in fixed positions. Can move/slide a...
