Matter that is in a gaseous state is usually transparent: it doesn't reflect light.
Matter that is liquid usually has a smooth reflective surface.
Solid matter usually has a rougher surface than liquid, so it reflects light but they don't produce a reflection.
REFLECTION AND DIFFUSION:
When light hits a smooth surface, it's reflected regularly.

ELECTRICITY:
All matter is made up of atoms. Each atom consists of protons, neutrons and one or more electrons.
When atoms lose electrons, matter becomes positively charged.
When atoms gain electrons, matter becomes negatively charged.
