Matter and Measurement

In the universe, there is matter, energy, and void space. The universe contains energy and void space. The definition of matter can be considered as something which possesses mass and consumes space. Chemistry is that branch of science which deals with the study of matter. Under chemistry, nature, composition, and the changes occurring to matter are discussed.

Keeping track of units during conversions can get confusing.
Therefore, a good strategy is to use dimensional analysis. In
dimensional analysis, conversion factors are used to cancel out
unwanted units and leave the desired units.
