what is matter?

rn

 

Matter is a thig that occupies space and has mass.

Anything that occupies space and has mass & volume is called matter.

Anything which occupies space (volume), has mass and can be perceived by our physical senses is called matter.

Anything which has mass and occupies space is called matter.  It is classified into two types 1.Pure substance.

  2.Mixture

Anything which occupies space and has mass is called matter.

OR

रसायन विज्ञान और भौतिक विज्ञान में पदार्थ (matter) उसे कहते हैं जो स्थान घेरता है व जिसमे द्रव्यमान (mass) होता है।

matter wich occupies space n weight is called matter

anything which occupies space n wieght is called matter.......

Any substance that has weight and occupies space is called matter....

anthing that occupies space posses mass and can be felt by any of our 5 senses is called matter.

things which have mass and occupies space is called matter its of 5 types namely followin:

• solid 
• liquid
• gas
• plasma
• bose-einstein condensate

Matter is anything which has mass and occupies space and is everything around you. Matter is anything made of atoms and molecules. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. If you are new to the idea of mass, it is the amount of stuff in an object.

Solids

The wood block is solid. A solid has a certain size and shape. The wood block does not change size or shape. Other examples of solids are the computer, the desk, and the floor.

Liquids

Milk is a liquid. Milk is liquid matter. It has a size or volume. Volume means it takes up space. But milk doesn't have a definite shape. It takes the shape of its container.

Liquids can flow, be poured, and spilled. Did you ever spill juice? Did you notice how the liquid goes everywhere and you have to hurry and wipe it up? The liquid is taking the shape of the floor and the floor is expansive limitless boundary (until it hits the wall). You can't spill a wooden block. You can drop it and it still has the same shape.

What about jello and peanut butter?

You can spread peanut butter on bread, but peanut butter does not flow. It is not a liquid at room temperature. You have to heat peanut butter up to make it a liquid. When you or your mom makes jello, it is first a liquid. You have to put it in the refrigerator so that it becomes a solid. These are yummy forms of matter with properties of a liquid and a solid.

Gases

Run in place very fast for a minute. Do you notice how hard you are breathing? What you are breathing is oxygen? You need oxygen to live. That's why you can only hold your breath for a certain amount of time.

You can't see oxygen. It's invisible. It is a gas. A gas is matter that has no shape or size of its own. Gases have no color.

Gases are all around you. You can feel gas when the wind blows. The wind is moving air. Air is many gases mixed together.

thumbs up please !!!!!!!

Anything which is having mass and occupy space and the presence of which can be felt by one or more of our senses.

MATTER IS ANYTHING WHICH HAS CERTAIN MASS,OCCUPY SPACE,AND ITS PRESENCE CAN BE FEEL BY ONE OR MORE HUMAN SENCE ORGAN 

Any substance that has weight and occupies space is called matter....

In classical physics and general chemistry, matter is any substance that has mass and takes up space by having volume.^[1] All everyday objects that can be touched are ultimately composed of atoms, which are made up of interacting subatomic particles, and in everyday as well as scientific usage, "matter" generally includes atoms and anything made up of them, and any particles (or combination of particles) that act as if they have both rest mass and volume. However it does not include massless particles such as photons, or other energy phenomena or waves such as light or sound.^[1][2] Matter exists in various states (also known as phases). These include classical everyday phases such as solid, liquid, and gas – for example water exists as ice, liquid water, and gaseous steam – but other states are possible, including plasma, Bose–Einstein condensates, fermionic condensates, and quark–gluon plasma.^[3]

Usually atoms can be imagined as a nucleus of protons and neutrons, and a surrounding "cloud" of orbiting electrons which "take up space".^[4][5] However this is only somewhat correct, because subatomic particles and their properties are governed by their quantum nature, which means they do not act as everyday objects appear to act – they can act like waves as well as particles and they do not have well-defined sizes or positions. In the Standard Model of particle physics, matter is not a fundamental concept because the elementary constituents of atoms are quantum entities which do not have an inherent "size" or "volume" in any everyday sense of the word. Due to the exclusion principle and other fundamental interactions, some "point particles" known as fermions (quarks, leptons), and many composites and atoms, are effectively forced to keep a distance from other particles under everyday conditions; this creates the property of matter which appears to us as matter taking up space.

For much of the history of the natural sciences people have contemplated the exact nature of matter. The idea that matter was built of discrete building blocks, the so-called particulate theory of matter, independently appeared in ancient Greece and ancient India among Buddhists, Hindus and Jains in 1st-millennium BC.^[6] Ancient philosophers who proposed the particulate theory of matter include Kanada (c. 6th–century BC or after),^[7] Leucippus (~490 BC) and Democritus (~470–380 BC).^[8]

anything that occupies space, has volume or mass and is made up of particles ca be classified as matter!

there are 5 types of matter: solid,liquid,gas,plasma, bose einstein condensate
