Abstract
Many physical properties of matter can be discussed without regard to how matter is made up. But for a more complete discussion the nature of matter must be considered. The generally accepted theory is that:
Matter consists of myriads of tiny particles called molecules
The theory enables a wide variety of facts to be linked together, and we begin with the differences between solids, liquids and gases.
