the amount of space that a substance or object occupies
volume
the properties that can be observed when a large number of particles interact (visible to the naked eye)

particles that have relatively little energy and tend to vibrate about a fixed position

particles that have a bit more energy so they are able to slide past one another, thus be poured
liquid
particles that have a lot of energy and move very quickly, thus they are spread far apart
gas
