classification of matter on physical basis

>This is called as dual nature of mater. The radiation has a dual aspect behaving either as waves or as particles (waves when it interferes, diffracts and particles in a photocell). Einstein showed that a particle having a finite mass has been supposed to be associated with a definite amount of ene..

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 macroscopic proper..

Matter exists in several phases. If we look at all objects around us, we perceive that some materials have a definite shape and occupy a definite amount of space or volume. We call these materials solids and we can name many objects that are solids. We say that solids have a definite shap..

It is important to know the atomic picture of matter. The basic unit of all matter is an 'atom'. Each atom consists of a small core called nucleus which accounts to most of its mass consisting of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons and surrounded by lighter negativel..
