Heat Radiation does not need a medium (particles of matter).
Microwaves are matter. Everything you can see, touch, smell, hear, or taste w/o the help of instuments are matter. Mcrowaves do emit a small of radioactive particles though, namely alpha. Alpha particles can't even pass through your clothes though and they won't harm you.
Sound relies on particles of matter to transfer its energy. For instance, when you speak, that sound wave travels through the air particles, pushing each one towards the next with the message of sound to the ear of another person for example. Even in water, sound does travel, but it's harder to hear because water is so dense. In a vacuum, there is no air, so no air particles to carry the sound, and thus, no sound can be heard.
We now know there are dozens of different sub atomic particles and they are still being discovered in large particle accelerators. Some decay into other particles in an incredibly short period of time. Even neutrons can can change to a proton. The only really stable particles, in the absence of anti-matter, are the proton and the electron
Beta particles cannot penetrate very far into solids because they...HAVE NO MASS and HAVE HIGH VELOCITY.
Conduction refers to heat transfer through solids. It is due to conduction that if we heat one side of a rod and place our hand on the other side, we feel the heat.What, basically, happens is that at the point that you have heated the rod, the particles gain more energy. As the particles in a solid are fixed in their position - and can only vibrate - due to the increase in eneery, the particles vibrate faster about their equilibrium positions. When they vibrate faster, they cause the particles around them to also vibrate faster, increasing their temperature. When these particles also start vibrating faster, the cycle is repeated and they cause the particles around them to also vibrate faster, increasing their temperature as well. In this way, the disturbance is spread all over the rod, which is why you feel the heat on the other side of the rod, even though that side is not in direct contact with the heat.
1.particles of matter move continously2.particles of matter attract each other3.particles of matter have space between themThe above answers are questionable. #2 is just not true at all as a universal rule (2 protons for example will repel each other). So let me present these:All matter has mass (particle or otherwise)All matter has weight (as a result of having mass)All matter occupies space (even particles)All matter has densityAll matter has inertiaAll matter is impenetrable (this means two particles cannot occupy the same space)All matter is a form of energy. As proven by famous e=mc2Given 7, all matter is conserved (cannot be destroyed)There are more... but those are the big ones.
Heat energy makes the particles in matter move faster. The more heat, the faster the particles move.

The particle theory of matter states:All matter is made of tiny particles called atomsParticles are moving all the time, even if you can't see itParticles attract each otherThe more energy a particle has, the faster it moves and the further it spreads apartAll particles have space between them.

particles of matter are very small
Heat is NOT matter. Heat is not even energy. It is defined as the "transfer of energy", so it refers strictly to the PROCESS of the TRANSFER of energy. My prof explained this to me in class, apparently many people misunderstand this.

Atoms are the basic units of matter and the defining structure of elements. ... We now know that Atoms are made up of three particles protons neutrons and electrons which are composed of even smaller particles such as quarks
