classification of matter introduction

Introduction - Today the fact that all matter is made up of atoms is universally accepted. Realisation of the atomic constituents of matter began in 1828 when Scottish botanist Robert Brown observed a random ceaseless motion of pollen grains suspended in a liquid. Many..

Introduction - The classification of matter into three different states, namely solid, liquid and gaseous state is termed as the physical classification of matter. Most properties of solid, liquid and gases that can be observed with our sense organs..

Matter and its Forms - Take a look at your surroundings. You may find a pencil, a book, an apple, a table or a chair. Can you feel the air blowing? These are different forms of matter..

Introduction - The first magnetic phenomenon observed were those associated with naturally occurring magnets, fragments of iron ore found near the ancient city of Magnesia. These attracted unmagnetised iron. The attraction was maximum at certain regions of the magnet called the poles. The..

The evidence of the electrical nature of matter preceeded the first theories about the structure of matter. In 1832, Michael Faraday discovered electrolysis. He gave the first important clue relating electricity to matter and about the electric nature of atom..

A solid is that form of matter that possesses rigidity and hence possesses a definite shape and a definite volum..

Matter undergoes certain changes as a result of the application of energy. Glaciers melt in summer and rivers freeze in winter. Water from saltpans on the sea coast dry up, leaving behind salt. Water from the sea evaporates to from water vapour, which form into clouds and then condense t..
