Abstract

Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. From a macroscopic view of matter associated with its bulk properties, there are three main phase of it: gaseous, liquid and solid. A fourth phase, plasma exists at very high temperatures. Gaseous phase of matter generally transparent and has no definite boundaries other than those imposed by the wall of a confining vessel. Particles of a gas (atom, molecule or ions) are well separated, have no regular arrangement and move freely at high speed. Due to the large space in between their atoms (molecule or ions), gases are highly compressible.
