Question

practice it!
select the statement(s) that are true about matter.
matter is the amount of mass an object has.
matter takes up space.
some things are not made of matter.
matter has mass.
everything is made of matter.

Explanation:

Matter is defined as anything that has mass and takes up space. So, the statements "Matter has mass" and "Matter takes up space" are fundamental properties of matter. Also, not everything is made of matter (e.g., light, heat are not matter), so "Some things are not made of matter" is correct. The statement "Matter is the amount of mass an object has" is wrong as mass is a property of matter, not the definition of matter. The statement "Everything is made of matter" is incorrect as there are non - matter entities.

Answer:

• "Matter has mass."
• "Some things are not made of matter."
• "Matter takes up space."
