Hint: All in your environment is made up of matter. Atoms and substances are made up of minuscule pieces of matter. The atoms that make up the objects you see and touch every day are made up of these atoms. All that has mass and occupies space is referred to as matter (it has volume).

Complete answer:
-Matter is described as something that takes up space, has mass, and exerts resistance. The mass of a body is the sum of matter found within it. Strong, liquid, and gaseous matter are the three physical states of matter. Matter is classified chemically into pure and impure (mixture) substances.
Solid, liquid, and gas are the three distinct physical states of matter that matter can take in most environments.
Solid: A substance that preserves its size and form in the absence of a container; a substance whose molecules can only vibrate freely.
Example: Brick
Liquid: Since its molecules are loosely packed and continually moving, this material flows and maintains no definite form. It conforms to the shape of its container while maintaining the same amount.
Example: Water
Gas: A material that can only be stored if it is fully encased in a jar (or kept together by gravitational pull); a substance whose molecules have minimal intermolecular interactions and can freely travel.
Example: Hydrogen

Note:
Antimatter is matter made up of antiparticles of the particles that make up ordinary matter. When a particle and its antiparticle collide, they annihilate; that is, according to Albert Einstein's equation \[E{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}m{c^2},\] they can both be converted into other particles with equal energy.
