| The capacity of such a region or of a specified container, expressed in cubic units. | Volume |
| Anything that takes up space. | Matter |
| The classical state of matter with a definite volume but no fixed shape. | Liquid |
| An airlike fluid substance which expands freely to fill any space available, irrespective of its quantity. | Gas |
| any property used to characterize matter and energy and their interactions. | Physical Property |
| a property used to characterize materials in reactions that change their identity. | Chemical Property |

| Number of protons in an atom of a given element | Atomic Number |
| Number of protons plus the number of neutrons in an atom | Atomic Mass |
| Center of the atom that has the protons and neutrons (heaviest part of the atom) | Nucleus |
| Positive subatomic particle in the nucleus | Proton |
| Neutral subatomic particle in the nucleus | Neutron |
| Negative subatomic particle that is around the outside of the nucleus | Electron |
