A matter is something that occupies space, has shape, mass and volume. It can be categorized in the following categories:

• Solid: Solids are those, whose molecules are bounded tightly, hence the distance between them is the least.
  • The molecules are fixed in a position.
  • It has definite shape as well as mass.
  • It has a high density.
  • In this, vibration is the least because of tightly bound molecules
• Liquid: In this particles are more loosely packed as compared to solids. It can flow.
• Gas: In this, the molecules have a great space between them. It has no definite shape and volume.
• Plasma: It is an ionized gas substance that has sufficient energy to provide free electrons from molecules.
