Question

which of the following is not an example of matter?

Explanation:

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. A dust particle, a pencil eraser, and a balloon full of helium all have mass and occupy space. Heat from a burning candle is a form of energy (thermal energy) and does not have mass or occupy space in the sense that matter does.
