question 37
when deciding whether or not something is matter, which question is least useful?
does it take up space?
does it have mass?
is it made from atoms?
is it made of particles?

Explanation:

Matter is defined as anything that has mass and takes up space (volume). Atoms are the building blocks of matter, so if something is made from atoms, it is matter. Particles can refer to sub - atomic particles (like electrons, protons, neutrons) which are part of atoms. However, the question "Is it made of particles?" is too broad. Light, for example, is made of particles (photons) but is not matter.

Answer:

Is it made of particles?
