Question

Which of the following are matter? Chair, air, love, smell, hate, almonds, thought, cold, cold drink, the smell of perfume.

Answer 1

1. Anything which occupies space and has mass is called matter.
2. Chair, air, smell, almonds, cold drink, and smell of perfume are matter (because they occupy space and have mass). It should be noted that ‘smell’ is a matter because it is due to the presence of some volatile substances in the air that occupy space and have mass.
