Rigidity: It is the property of matter to resist the change of its shape.

Compressibility: It is the property of matter in which its volume is decreased by applying force.

Fluidity: Matter can flow.

Filled a gas container: On filling, a gas takes the shape of the container.

Shape: Having definite boundaries.

Kinetic energy: It is the energy possessed by the particles of matter due to its motion.

Density: It is the ratio of mass with per unit volume
