Answer to Problem 1TQ

A matter is anything that has mass and occupies a volume of space. Therefore, option (c) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Justify the reasons for the correct statement:

Based the chemical and physical structure, the matter is made up of atoms. The atoms consists of electrons, neutrons and protons. It keeps the distinctive properties of matter. The matter consists of negatively charged electro, positively charged protons and neutral charge neutrons. All of them has characteristic shape, size and mass. By the chemical bonds these are connected. The chemical bonds make the matter conquer a specified volume of space.

Option (c) is given as, “has mass and occupies a volume of space”.

Hence, the option (c) is correct.

Justify the reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a) is given as, “is visible”. 

All the matter is not visible. It can be visible if it is solid and liquid. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (b) is given as, “can be measured”.  

Depending on the state, the matter can be measured. All the matters cannot be measured. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (d) is given as, “none of the above”.   

The given statement is inaccurate because the matter has a mass and reside in a capacity of space. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (b), and (d) are incorrect.

Conclusion

The whole universe is composed of matter and it is made up of atoms. Any particle or mixture of particles that act as if they need both rest mass and volume.
