What is Matter?

Do you know what matter is? If not this post is for you!

Matter is all around you because everything is matter. Rocks are matter, wood is matter, ice, books, water, air, even people and dogs are matter! Matter is every thing you can think of!

You may ask, rocks and water are both matter, but they are both way different? Yes, rocks and water are both matter, just different states of matter.

There are three states of matter : solids, liquids, and gases. A solid is a state of matter that is made up of atoms and molecules that are pact together tightly. Those molecules are made up of protons, electrons, and neutrons. A few examples of solids are rocks, books, paper, chairs your fingernails, and much more!

A liquid is a state of matter that has molecules that are pact together but not that tightly. Some examples of liquids are juice, water tears, coffee blood, oils and still much more!

The last state of matter is gas. the state of gas is all around you. A few examples of gases are air, heliem, and oxegen.

These are some of the things that I know about and I hope that you learned too!
