| Abstract | "Matter is any substance that has mass and takes up space. It can exist in several different forms known as phases and a phase is a form of matter that has a relatively uniform chemical composition and physical properties. Phases include the three familiar ones: solids, liquids, and gases; as well as more exotic states of matter such as plasmas, superfluids, etc"-- Provided by publisher. |
