Fundamentals 50

The chapter discusses the concept of matter, emphasizing that everything in the universe is made of matter, which occupies space and has mass. It explores the physical properties of matter, including its particle nature, states (solid, liquid, gas), and the principles of diffusion, evaporation, and phase changes. The influence of temperature and pressure on the states of matter is examined, along with real-world implications and applications.
