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.
Hence, we conclude that in solids, the distance between molecules is minimum.
