Question

Which three statements are true of all matter?

A.
It is filled with air.
B.
It takes up space.
C.
It contains aluminum.
D.
It has mass.
E.
It is made up of atoms

Answer 1

All matter takes up space, has mass, and is made up of atoms, but not all matter is filled with air or contains aluminum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Three statements are true of all matter:

• B. It takes up space. Whether in solid, liquid, or gaseous form, all matter occupies a volume which can be demonstrated in numerous ways. For example, gases filling a balloon and causing it to inflate.
• D. It has mass. Every object, including gases which may be harder to measure, has a mass. This includes even those with very little mass such as air in a balloon.
• E. It is made up of atoms. All matter is composed of atoms, which are the smallest units that maintain the properties of an element. These atoms join to form molecules.

So, it is incorrect to claim that all matter is filled with air (A) or contains aluminum (C), as these do not apply to all types of matter.

Answer 2

B, D and E, not all matter can be filled with air
