Cells are the basic, fundamental unit of life. So, if we were to break apart an organism to the cellular level, the smallest independent component that we would find would be the cell.
Based on cellular structure, there are two types of cells:
- Prokaryotes
- Eukaryotes

The sponge is compressible being a solid because of the presence of air cavities inside it. The sponge has numerous pores in it which can be referred to as air cavities, in which air is trapped and on compressing it comes out of the sponge. These pores are the reason why sponge can easily soak liquid into it.

Celsius and Kelvin are two scales used to measure temperature. Both follow the same unit difference between each scale but with different starting points. The relation between Celsius and Kelvin are as follows-
Celsius to Kelvin
K = D+273
Where,
K is the temperature in Kelvin scale.
D is the temperature in Celsius scale.

On the basis of physical state, matter is classified into three categories, such as solid, liquid and gas. Matter basically exists in three physical states and these states are used to classify them in the physical form. Matter is distinguished into solid, liquid or gas by the arrangement of the atoms in the mater. While a chemical property is revealed only by the behavior of a substance in a chemical reaction, a physical property can be observed and measured without changing the composition of a sample. Physical properties include color, pressure, length, and concentration.

Chromatography is the technique used for separation of those solutes that dissolve in the same solvent.
To understand how this technique can be used let us perform an activity.
Take a thin strip of filter paper. Draw a line on it using a pencil, approximately 3 cm above the lower edge as shown in figure(a). Put a small drop of ink (water soluble, that is, from a sketch pen or fountain pen) at the centre of the line. Let it dry. Lower the filter paper into a jar/glass/ beaker/test tube containing water so that the drop of ink on the paper is just above the water level, as shown in Fig(b) and leave it undisturbed.
Applications of Chromatography
To separate
• colours in a dye
• pigments from natural colours
• drugs from blood.

Solid
- In solids, particles are tightly or closely packed.
- The gaps between the particles are tiny and hence it is tough to compress them.
- Solid has a fixed shape and volume.
- Due to its rigid nature, particles in solid can only vibrate about their mean position and cannot move.
- Force of attraction between particles is adamant.
- The rate of diffusion in solids is very low.
- An example of solids: solid ice, sugar, rock, wood, etc.
Liquid
- In a liquid state of matter, particles are less tightly packed as compared to solids.
- Liquids take the shape of the container in which they are kept.
- Liquids are difficult to compress as particles have less space between them to move.
- Liquids have fixed volume but no fixed shape.
- The rate of diffusion in liquids is higher than that of solids.
- Force of attraction between the particles is weak than solids.
- Example of a liquid state of matter: water, milk, blood, coffee, etc.
Gas
- In gases, particles are far apart from each other.
- Force of attraction between the particles is negligible and they can move freely.
- Gases have neither a fixed volume nor a fixed shape.
- The gaseous state has the highest compressibility as compared to solids and liquids.
- The rate is diffusion is higher than solids and liquids.
- The kinetic energy of particles is higher than in solids and liquids.
- An example of gases: air, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc.
Plasma
- Plasma is a not so generally seen form of matter. Plasma consists of particles with extremely high kinetic energy. Electricity is used to ionize noble gases and make glowing signs, which is essentially plasma.
- Superheated forms of plasma are what stars are.

The important characteristics of particles of matter are the following:
- The particles of matter are very, very small.
- The particles of matter have space between them.
- The particles of matter are constantly moving.
- The particles of matter attract each other.

Saturn is very large and is the second largest planet in the Solar System. However, it is made up mostly of gas and is less dense than water. Since it is lighter than water, it can float on water. None of the other planets in our Solar System can do this because they have a higher density than water.

Yes, the displacement can be zero if the particle returns to its starting point.
If a body starts from some point, say A, goes in a circle and comes back to point A, then the displacement as defined will be zero. Because the initial and final points will be same and there will be zero distance between them. But in the same case distance will not be zero and will be given by the length of actual path traveled by body.
Hence, displacement can be zero, even if distance covered is non-zero.

A matter exists in solid state because of greatest force of attraction between its particles which makes the particles closely packed.

The smell of hot sizzling food reaches you several metres away, but to get the smell from cold food you have to go close because the kinetic energy of the particles of matter increases with the increase in temperature.

Air is matter because it is a gas composed mostly of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon, and gases do have mass because they're molecules bouncing around a contained volume (here, the atmosphere). Water vapor, mixed in to some extent with air, is also a gas and therefore has mass.
