In a CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) document, when you define a rule for a specified selector, you must enclose the properties and values within curly braces `{}`. Each property is followed by a colon `:`, and each value is followed by a semicolon `;` to separate it from the next property-value pair. Here is an example of a CSS rule:
```css selector { property1: value1; property2: value2; /* ... additional properties and values ... */ } ```
For instance, if you want to style all `
` (paragraph) elements with blue text and a font size of 16 pixels, you would write:
```css p { color: blue; font-size: 16px; } ```
Here, `p` is the selector that targets all paragraph elements, `color` is a property, `blue` is the value for the color property, `font-size` is another property, and `16px` is the value for the font-size property.
