📖 Section 2.1 — Matter

This section covers the fundamental properties of matter as defined in the

EASA Part 66 Module 2 (Physics) syllabus.

It forms the foundation for understanding mechanics, thermodynamics, and fluid behaviour later in this module.

🎯 Learning Outcomes (EASA Part 66)

By the end of this section, you should be able to:

• Define matter and describe its basic structure

• Explain atoms, molecules, elements, and chemical compounds

• Describe the properties of solids, liquids, and gases

• Explain changes between states of matter

• Use correct terminology in Part 66 exam questions

📘 Lessons (Study in Order)

Atoms, molecules, elements, compounds, chemical symbols

Solids, liquids, gases, and changes between states

🎯 Exam Focus (Read This Carefully)

• This section is examined as one knowledge unit

• Definitions are frequently tested

• Confusing elements, compounds, and mixtures is a common exam error

• Understanding concepts matters more than memorising words
