For the above question , the answer given is :
chair,air,almonds,cold-drink.
But my teacher said that smell of perfume is also a matter.
Is it correct?
yes your teacher is right .because the smell is due to the particle. for example the smell of a perfume is due to the particle present in the gaseous form .this minute particle is also a matter. this cannot seen by our eye .but the feeling -smell is not a matter. but the cause of smell that is particle present in perfume is a matter
Smell of perfume is a matter as the constituent particles of perfume which causes smelling is diffused in the air. The particle nature of perfume makes smell of perfume a matter.
hope you understand.
