Question

Any sample of matter has mass and takes up space. The main reason for this is because:

  1. Matter is heavy.
  2. Matter can be a Solid 
  3. Matter is made up of small particles that have same mass and space.
  4. Universe is made of matter

hintHint:

The matter is composed of tiny particles called atoms.

The correct answer is: Matter is made up of small particles that have same mass and space.


    • Any sample of matter has mass and it takes up some space. This is because matter is made up of small particles that have the same mass and space.
    • All matter is composed of small particles known as atoms. They consist of electrons, protons, and neutrons in them. And, thus are responsible for their own mass and space. 
    • When these atoms combine to form matter, they transfer these properties to it. And therefore, every form of matter has its own mass and space. 

    The matter can be in any form, solid, liquid, or gas.
