Characteristics of Particles of Matter
Particles of matter are very small, normally, not visible from naked eye.
 
Particles Of Matter
Particles of matter keep moving continuously, which is known as the “kinetic energy.”
 
Kinetic energy of particles directly depends on the temperature, as temperature increases, the speed of the movement also increases.
 
The particles of matter have attracting force; therefore, they attract each other.
 
The attracting force of the particles keeps the particles together; however, the strength of the attracting force varies from one kind of matter to another.

Solid State
 
Liquid State
 
Gaseous State
