Everything which we are seeing around us is matter. so we can say the matter is something that occupies space and has some weight is called matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Or\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anything that has mass and some volume is called matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By Mass we mean the amount of matter present in any substance or we can say the total weight of a substance. sometimes it happens the things which seem small to us are having more mass as compared to the others which seem big to us. For example, A big balloon filled with helium gas is having less mass on the other hand a small ball made of lead is having more mass.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By Volume we mean the amount of space takes up by any substance. Like small, big, few little all these tell us the volume of a substance. It is also called capacity. Every matter filled up space in their own way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All Matters are made up of atom, These atoms are consists of a small subatomic particle like electron, neutron, and proton. A group of atoms forms a molecule which is the building block of all kinds of matter. Molecules together form a compound. For example, One molecule of Sodium and Chlorine forms Sodium Chloride.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0
