States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.

A thin sample of X is put between metal plates. A radio-frequency electric current
is applied to the plates and passes through the sample. From the measured
voltage across the plates the value of E may be calculated.

![O physical
A small sample of X is dissolved in water. Drops of another solution, containing
dissolved sodium hydroxide, are slowly added, and a pH indicator is used to
determine when the sodium hydroxide has completely reacted with X. From the
amount of sodium hydroxide needed, the value of P may be calculated.

physical
Into one chamber of an electrochemical cell, a solution of X is introduced, along
with a metal electrode. In the other chamber a solution of a known oxidizing
reagent O is introduced, along with another metal electrode. The voltage across
the electrodes is proportional to the tendency of O to react with X. By measuring
this voltage, the value of R may be calculated.
