Classify matter as an element, compound, homogeneous mixture, or heterogeneous mixture with regard to its physical state and composition.

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.

Volume

Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither a defined shape nor a defined volume.

The seven states of matter that I am investigating are Solids, Liquids, Gases, Ionized Plasma, Quark-Gluon Plasma, Bose-Einstein Condensate and Fermionic Condensate.

Matter is composed of atomic and subatomic things (electron, proton and neutron). Matter does not include mass less objects like light, photons and sound. Matter exists in different phases. Solid ice, water and steam are few examples of matter touched in everyday life. Subatomic particles are also considered as matter.

Matter is a substance that has inertia and occupies physical space. Examples :-solids, liquids, gases, plasma and Bose-Einstein condensates.

10 Examples of Things That Are Not Matter

• Vacuum: By definition, a vacuum is a region that does not contain any matter.
• Energy: Light, heat, kinetic and potential energy, and sound are non-matter because they are massless.
• Time: Time can be measured, but it has no mass and occupies no volume.
• Rainbow: A rainbow is an optical phenomenon.

Matter is a substance that has inertia and occupies physical space. According to modern physics, matter consists of various types of particles, each with mass and size. The most familiar examples of material particles are the electron, the proton and the neutron. Combinations of these particles form atoms.

Matter is the Stuff Around You Matter is everything around you. Atoms and compounds are all made of very small parts of matter. Those atoms go on to build the things you see and touch every day. Matter is defined as anything that has mass and takes up space (it has volume).

Matter: The stuff from which everything is made. Material: Any type of matter. Element: A material that is the same throughout, such as gold or silver. Compound: A substance made of molecules, each of which is made up of two or more different types of atoms.

An example of material is the fabric from which something is made. An example of material are the facts used in a book. An example of material are the jokes a comedian tells. An example of material is the wood used to build something.

About 99 percent of your body is made up of atoms of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. If we lost all the dead space inside our atoms, we would each be able to fit into a particle of lead dust, and the entire human race would fit into the volume of a sugar cube.

The melting point is the temperature at which a solid changes into a liquid. At its melting point, the disruptive vibrations of the particles of the solid overcome the attractive forces operating within the solid.

Most liquids are less dense than the solid phase, so higher pressure increase the melting point. The dotted green line shows the melting point for water. Water is denser as a liquid, so higher pressures decrease the melting temperature.

Tungsten

Tungsten(Wolfram) is a great example since it has a melting point above 3000 °C, chromium, niobium molybdenum, rhenium, titanium and tantalum are all good examples that don’t melt below titanium’s minimal temp of 1668 °C…
