Question

Is matter continous or particulate?

• A. Continuous
• B. Particulate
• C. Continuous and particulate.
• D. Partially continuous and partially particulate.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Particulate

Matter is particulate because we cannot divide matter forever.

For e.g.:- Consider water, if we split a molecule of water, we get hydrogen and oxygen. We can say the individual atoms are not the molecule of water and that the entity itself is lost. This implies water is particulate in nature. A substance is said to be continuous, if it can be divided infinite number of times.
