there are many ways in which you can organize the information. you can organize it with a table, a graph, a chart, an outline, a web, etc. There are excellent websites which you can search on Yahoo! about organizing information. \nWORLD PEACE

The definations wanted by you are given below-\n\nIn physics, matter is commonly defined as the substance of which physical objects are composed, not counting the contribution of various energy or force-fields, which are not usually considered to be matter per se (though they may contribute to the mass of objects). Matter constitutes much of the observable universe, although again, light is not ordinarily considered matter. Unfortunately, for scientific purposes, "matter" is somewhat loosely defined.\n\nMass is a property of a physical object that quantifies the amount of matter and energy it is equivalent to. Mass is a central concept of classical mechanics and related subjects, and there are several forms of mass within the framework of relativistic kinematics (see mass in special relativity and mass in General Relativity). In the theory of relativity, the quantity invariant mass, which in concept is close to the classical idea of mass, does not vary between single observers in different reference frames.\n\nAn elementary particle is a particle with no measurable internal structure, that is, it is not a composite of other particles. They are the fundamental objects of quantum field theory. Elementary particles can be classified according to their spin, with fermions having half-integer spin and bosons integer spin.\n\nSpace has been an interest for philosophers and scientists for much of human history. The term is used somewhat differently in different fields of study, hence it is difficult to provide an uncontroversial and clear definition outside of specific defined contexts. Disagreement also exists on whether space itself can be measured or is part of the measuring system. (See Space in philosophy.) Many fields use an operational definition in which the units of measurement are defined, but not space itself.\n\nIn chemistry and physics, an atom (Greek  átomos meaning "indivisible") is the smallest particle of a chemical element that retains its chemical properties. \n\nA chemical element, often called simply an element, is a substance that cannot be decomposed or transformed into other chemical substances by ordinary chemical processes. All matter consists of these elements and as of 2006, 117 unique elements have been discovered or artificially created. The smallest particle of such an element is an atom, which consists of electrons centered about a nucleus of protons and neutrons.\n\nIn chemistry, a molecule is an aggregate of two or more atoms in a definite arrangement held together by chemical bonds. Chemical substances are not infinitely divisible into smaller fractions of the same substance: a molecule is generally considered the smallest particle of a pure substance that still retains its composition and chemical properties. Certain pure substances (e.g., metals, molten salts, crystals, etc.) are best understood as being composed of networks or aggregates of atoms or ions instead of molecular units.\n\nIn particle physics, antimatter extends the concept of the antiparticle to matter, wherein if a particle and its antiparticle come into contact with each other, the two annihilate —that is, they may both be converted into other particles with equal energy in accordance with Einstein's equation E = mc2. This gives rise to high-energy photons (gamma rays) or other particle–antiparticle pairs-.

Matter is anything that has Mass and takes up space.  The general properties of matter are mass, weight, volume and density.   They are considered physical properties.\n\nLook around you and you will see matter.  Air is matter because it takes up space.  Heat and light does not have mass or takes up space, so it is not matter.  \n\nScientists have separated matter into states or phases.  Prior to 1985 there were 4 states or phases, today we have 5 states or phases.  Each of these phases certain properties associated with each phases.  Matter can be changed from one state or phase to another phase by energy.  There are five types of phase changes.

Yup.  That's right.  Electrons are generally located in diffuse shells arranged around a very dense nucleus.  All matter on earth is basically empty space.  Do searches under "Rutherford atom" and "neutrinos" for more information.

It's spelled structure.  It's how data are organized.

Even a simplified answer to this is very complicated, so bear with me...\n\nHopefully by now you've learned in school about how everything is made of atoms, and that atoms in turn are made up of smaller particles such as protons, neutrons and electrons.\n\nNow ask yourself:  How come I can stand on the ground?  Why don't I fall straight through the ground to the center of the earth?  What keeps gravity from "mushing" everything together, even electrons and protons?\n\nThere are four Fundamental Forces that we know of in the Universe.  The Fundamental Forces are the "rules" by which all the matter in the Universe interacts with each other.  The four that we know of are:  Gravity, the Electromagnetic Force, the Weak Nuclear Force and the Strong Nuclear Force.\n\nAll the matter in the universe has Gravity as a force, and Gravity is always a "pulling" force; things are always attracted to each other by Gravity.  Gravity is also a very long-reaching force; gravity holds the planets in orbit around the sun, holds the sun and other stars together in a galaxy; and Gravity even acts between other galaxies.  Gravity is a force that reaches all the way across the Universe.\n\nThen there's the Electromagnetic Force.  This is what makes electricity and magnets work.  The Electromagnetic Force (or EM for short) is actually much, much stronger than Gravity, but it works over a much, much shorter distance than Gravity does.  EM is also a "two-sided" force; there's a positive and a negative.  In magnets they're called "north" and "south."  Two charges that are opposite -- positive and negative -- attract each other, while two charges that are the same -- say, negative and negative -- repel, or push each other apart, like when you put the south poles of two magnets together, they want to push apart.\n\nAtoms are made up of protons (which have a positive EM charge) and electrons (which have a negative EM charge).  The protons are all at the center of the atom, while the electrons spin around the outside, making an electron "shell."  Since two things of the same charge repel each other, when two atoms come near each other the negative charges of their electrons push them away from each other.\n\nSo the reason you stand on the ground, why Gravity doesn't pull you down to the center of the earth, is because the electrons in the atoms of your feet are pushing against the electrons in the atoms in the ground.  And since the EM force is much stronger than Gravity, the EM force holds you up and keeps you from "mushing" into the ground.\n\n...Okay, what does this have to do with black holes?  I'm getting to that.\n\nMaybe you've learned in school that our solar system -- the earth, the other planets and the sun -- started out as a huge cloud of gas and dust.  Over billions of years Gravity pulled the atoms in this cloud closer and closer to each other, until they started condensing ("mushing" together) to form the earth, the planets and the sun.\n\nThe sun, you know, is not a solid ball, like the earth is.  It's a huge ball of gas, mostly hydrogen.  So, why doesn't Gravity mush the sun smaller until it becomes a solid ball?\n\nThe reason why is the same reason the sun shines.  The sun is about a million miles across.  That's a really, really huge amount of hydrogen.  Now, Gravity does pull the gas on the surface of the sun down towards the middle; so the atoms on the surface of the sun "fall" down towards the center.  That's half a million miles, which is a long way to fall for anything, even a hydrogen atom.  So when the hydrogen gets to the center, the weight of all the gas above it is so huge, that the atoms get pushed together really hard; hard enough to overcome the negative electrons on the outsides of the atoms.  The hydrogen atoms get "scrunched" together to form a different kind of atom --

In all actuality, your question makes no sense.  If you were to take out all the "space" in matter, there would be no matter.  Matter is basically made out of energy and forces interacting with each other.  If you compressed the universe into the size of a refrigerator, you wouldn't have matter anymore.

I dont have an actual numerical percentage for you, but yes, matter is mostly made up of just empty space.\nThere not only is lots of empty space in between atoms, but also, the atom itself is mostly empty space as well.\nWhen you scale an atom into normal terms, the VAST majority of its mass is concentrated in an extremely mall area (the nucleus) and its electrons orbit very far away (in relative terms).

Interesting organization

Probably carbon latice structures, like buckeyballs or nanotubes.  These could then contain the smaller compounds that are doing the desired work.

actually, it's arranged by the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of each element, though the list in this song: http://www.privatehand.com/flash/elements.html\nis not.

The cell is still made up of many atoms, thats the only irrefutable link there. And the atom is not the elementary essential of matter, if by elementary essential you are referring to the smallest constituent of a matter. Atom is made of of sub-particles: protons, electrons, neutrons, quarks... And these are further made up of smaller sub-particles (our knowledge are always limited). Proton and nuetron have masses and volumes. Doesnt that mean they are matter too?

solid's particles are compact, while on liquids they are loose but gas' are the most loose (more distances with each other)

How can you have something if nothings there? Atoms are made up or protons, neutrons, and quarks which are the basic building blocks of matter. Well at least until someone discovers there made up of something else lol!

1. MATTER - Anything that has Mass and takes up Space.\n\n2. MASS - The measurement of the amount of Matter in an object.  We use a Balance to determine Mass.\n\n3. Matter is Classified (divided) into FOUR STATES:\n\n    a. SOLID - Anything that has BOTH A DEFINITE VOLUME and a DEFINITE SHAPE.  A rock is a solid, solid matter can be picked up and carried around without having to place it in a special container.\n\n    b. LIQUID - Anything that has DEFINITE VOLUME but NO DEFINITE SHAPE.  A key property of a liquid is that they FLOW and can be POURED.\n\n    c. GAS - Has NO DEFINITE VOLUME and NO DEFINITE SHAPE.  A gas ALWAYS TAKES BOTH THE VOLUME AND THE SHAPE OF ANY CONTAINER INTO WHICH IT IS PLACED.  If a gas is NOT in a container, it will spread out as far as it can.\n\n    d. PLASMA - Has NO DEFINITE VOLUME OR SHAPE AND IS COMPOSED OF ELECTRICAL CHARGED PARTICLES.
