Matter

The document discusses the three states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. It explains that solids have a definite shape and volume, with molecules that do not move. Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape, as molecules can slide past one another. Gases have no definite shape or volume, with molecules that move rapidly and are far apart from one another.
