Explanation:

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. The mass of an object measures the amount of matter or substance the object contains.

Volume is the measure of the amount of space taken up by the object.

The SI units for mass and volume are kilogram (kg) and cubic meter (m³) respectively.

Generally, matter exists in three (3) distinct phases and these are;

1. Solid: it is the state of matter in which the physical substance has a definite shape and fixed volume but not compressible. Examples of solids are pen, screwdriver, television, car etc.

2. Liquid: it is the state of matter in which the physical substance can be poured and takes the shape of its container. Also, liquids generally have a definite volume. Examples of liquids are urine, water, milk, blood etc.

3. Gas: it is the state of matter in which the physical substance has no definite shape or volume and as a result fills all available space. Also, gases are easily compressible and can flow. Examples of gases are hydrogen, oxygen, argon, nitrogen etc.
