Matter is another form of energy as demonstrated in Einstein's famous e = m c^2 equation. Energy (matter) cannot be destroyed, it can only be changed into another form.

In a nuclear explosion, some of the matter and some of the binding energy is converted into heat and light, but the total equivalent matter still exists.

For matter in its everyday state, it may be in the form of Solid, liquid, gas, plasma.

In a steady state, :-

A solid is of a fixed volume, is essentially incompressible, and its shape may be changed.

A liquid is also of fixed volume, can be compressed (but not easily), and it will take up the shape of its container.

A Gas will expand to fill its container, and is easily compressed.

A Plasma is an excited gas, and is composed of partly ionized gases.

[Bose-einstein Condensate is a rather special state of matter and along with other esoteric forms of matter (fermionic condensates, and quark-gluon plasmas) are beyond this simple answer. ]
