We see many things in our surroundings, we see many things around us which are different in color , sizes,shapes and textures. Everthing we see in this universe is madeup of material which scientists named it as “Matter“. (What is Matter? Ask Assistant). Air we breathe ,food we eat, the stores , stars , plants and clouds even a drop of water is a Matter. If we look around us we come across the things we see occupiy space and have mass.
Since from early days , Human beings try to understand the surroundings.Early indian Philosophers divided the matter into five basic elements.(Pancha-tavta).According to them everything in this world is made up of thses five elements.Ancient Greek philosophers also said the same.
In Modren days,Scientists have made two types of classifications of matter based on their Physical Properties and Chemical Properties. Now let’s get deep into this concept Firstly, Let’s understand what is Matter based on their Physical Properties.
According to Physical Nature of Matter, Matter is made up of Particles.Everything is made up of particle, For Example, A Glass of Water contain numerous Water Particles.and if we add salt to it then the salt will dissolve in water and dissappear.Now the salt particle is mixed up with water particle.The Next thing that will come to our mind is How small these particles are. so The answer for this question is “Very Very Small” They are small Beyond our Imagination.
We will see the Characteristics of Particles of Matter in Next Post.
