Question

What is a matter and how do it work?

Answer 1

Answer:

Matter is any substance that has mass and takes up space. Any physical object consists of matter. It doesn't matter whether it's an atom, element, compound, or mixture. It's all matter. (Not a pun, i promise ツ)

However, unlike some believe, not everything you encounter in the world is matter. Matter can be converted into energy, which has neither mass nor volume. So, light, sound, and heat are not matter. Most objects have both matter and some form of energy, so the distinction can be tricky. For example, a candle flame certainly emits energy (light and heat), but it also contains gasses and soot, so it is still matter. The building blocks of matter are called "atoms" and "molecules." They, too, are matter. The matter we can detect normally is called "baryonic" matter. However, there is another type of matter out there, which can't be directly detected. But its influence can. It's called dark matter.

Attached below is a picture of examples of matter.

Key words and phrases:
