Chemistry deals with the composition, structure and properties of matter.
Anything that has mass and occupies space is called matter.
Matter mainly exists in three forms - solid, liquid and gaseous forms. These forms are inter convertible by changing the temperature and pressure.

SOLID <----> LIQUID <----> GAS
- Solids have a definite volume and definite shape. The particles are closely attached and there is not much freedom of movement.
- Liquids does not have a definite shape but have a definite volume. The particles are not so close and there is a freedom of movement.
- Gases neither have definite shape nor have a definite volume. The particles are situated as far as they can and are able to move freely.
