A diver is able to cut through water in a swimming pool. Based on this observation, the property of matter can be observed is that particles of matter have space between them.
Any object that occupies space and has mass is considered the matter. Particles of matter have space between them known as intermolecular spaces. Solids have very few intermolecular spaces, while liquids have more. Since there is space between molecules of water, a diver is able to side apart and cut through water in a swimming pool.
