Energy is the capacity to do work. Matter has mass and occupies space. All matter is composed of basic elements that cannot be broken down to substances with different chemical or physical properties. Elements are substances consisting of one type of atom, for example Carbon atoms make up diamond, and also graphite. Pure (24K) gold is composed of only one type of atom, gold atoms. Atoms are the smallest particle into which an element can be divided. The ancient Greek philosophers developed the concept of the atom, although they considered it the fundamental particle that could not be broken down. Since the work of Enrico Fermi and his colleagues, we now know that the atom is divisible, often releasing tremendous energies as in nuclear explosions or (in a controlled fashion in) thermonuclear power plants.\n\nSubatomic particles were discovered during the 1800s. For our purposes we will concentrate only on three of them. The proton is located in the center (or nucleus) of an atom, each atom has at least one proton. Protons have a charge of +1, and a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit (amu). Elements differ from each other in the number of protons they have, e.g. Hydrogen has 1 proton; Helium has 2.\n\nThe neutron also is located in the atomic nucleus (except in Hydrogen). The neutron has no charge, and a mass of slightly over 1 amu. Some scientists propose the neutron is made up of a proton and electron-like particle.\n\nThe electron is a very small particle located outside the nucleus. Because they move at speeds near the speed of light the precise location of electrons is hard to pin down. Electrons occupy orbitals, or areas where they have a high statistical probability of occurring. The charge on an electron is -1. Its mass is negligible (approximately 1800 electrons are needed to equal the mass of one proton).\n\nThe atomic number is the number of protons an atom has. It is characteristic and unique for each element. The atomic mass (also referred to as the atomic weight) is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Atoms of an element that have differing numbers of neutrons (but a constant atomic number) are termed isotopes. Isotopes can be used to determine the diet of ancient peoples by determining proportions of isotopes in mummified or fossilized human tissues. Biochemical pathways can be deciphered by using isotopic tracers. The age of fossils and artifacts can be determined by using radioactive isotopes, either directly on the fossil (if it is young enough) or on the rocks that surround the fossil 9for older fossils like dinosaurs). Isotopes are also the source of radiation used in medical diagnostic and treatment procedures.\n\nNote that each of these isotopes of hydrogen has only one proton. Isotopes differ from each other in the number of neutrons, not in the number of protons.

Other isotopes are stable. Examples of radioisotopes are Carbon-14 (symbol 14C), and deuterium (also known as Hydrogen-2; 2H). Stable isotopes are 12C and 1H.\n\nCarbon has three isotopes, of which carbon-12 and carbon-14 are the most well known.

matter - a noun describing any substance possessing mass.\n\nhomogeneous - an adjective describing an equal distribution of several substances in a given sample volume. The adjective makes only sense for mixtures. Examples for homogeneous mixtures are salt solutions in water, emulsions, or gas mixtures without great mass differences between the constituents. Examples for inhomogeneous mixtures are e.g. soil (which tends to aggregate certain components) or sediments.

Examples of extensive properties:\n\nMass \nVolume \nEntropy \nEnergy \nElectrical resistance \nTexture \nHeat \n\nAn extensive property of a system depends on the system size or the amount of material in the system. An intensive property on the other hand is a physical property of the system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system.\n\nHopefully that gives you and idea and you found what you were looking for.

Substances exist if they have a volume. Anything that has no volume is only imaginary.\nMasses exist in a form of volume structure with a mixure of space substance.\nHence,some masses are so small that they  cannot be visible. That doesnot means they dont exist or that they are considered massless because of being so small. This has been a misconception in the case of Photons. The atomic mass structure shown in the Periodic talble of elements is basically made up of complex atomic structures.. Never the less the atoms are all composed of the same substance,and all these substance have volume.\nSo atoms exist as they do because they are entity with volume. If it it was not so, they would not exist in our physical world.\n\nNow if they are substances outside of the Universe which are different,we have no scientific way presently to observe them.\n\nSo when Physics theories talk about masseless substance such as Photon and neutrinos etc. they are only conjecturing. And I only believe what appears to be real with actual positive proof.\n\nThe states in which atomic structures appears depend on their response to gravity pressure.and the temperature inside the atoms.\n At different temperature mass structure can appear as solid ,liquids ,gas or a gaseous ionized state called plasma.And most important of all the state of space substance which is the fifth state of matter.\nThese five states of Nature had been pondered upon by the Ancient Greeks such as Aristotle and others.

Its all about shape and volume.  Solids have a set, defined shape, and a set volume.  Liquids have no defined shape, but a set volume, and gas has no set shape nor a set volume.  Those two things define whether or not something is solid, liquid, or gas.

all things have a solid liquid and gas state. it just depends on the temperature.

Remember the defintions of "chemical" and "physical" properties!\n\nPhysical are those that can be experienced by the senses (sight, smell, taste, hearing, touch). Chemical are those in which the chemical reaction creates a new material; however, it has become accepted practice to use "chemical property" to define a material's behavior at a set of known conditions (temperature, humidty, pressure, etc). \n\nThe site given lists just about everything you'd want to know about Nitrogen; from it, you should be able to answer some of the basic "physical" characteristics and pull what you need for the chemical ones.\n\nLike I've answered before - since the definition of "chemical" has evolved over the years, you need to decide for yourself which ones best answer your query.
