1.- Definition of matter
Matter refers to any material in the universe. It has mass
and takes up (occupies) a place in space. Examples of
matter are air, water, plastic, stone, wood, glass,
metals and many more.
Feelings and emotions are not examples of matter.
Happiness, curiosity and sadness are not matter.
It has three states: solid, liquid and gas.
2.- Intensive properties of matter
We call them intensive because we can observe them
with our five senses. They express qualities. The
intensive properties of matter are: colour, smell,
flavour, brightness, hardness, elasticity, water
resistance and some more.
3.- Extensive properties of matter
We call them extensive because they are quantitative
and we can measure them. The quantitative properties
of matter are length, mass, volume, area, time and
temperature.
