    This document defines key concepts about the particle nature of matter. It explains that matter is anything that has mass and volume, and mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Volume is the space an object occupies. Properties describe characteristics of matter and include physical properties like density, color and melting point, as well as chemical properties that describe a substance's ability to change form through chemical reactions. The document provides formulas for calculating mass, volume and density, and distinguishes between extensive and intensive physical properties.
