Answer:

Matter : Is any substance that has mass and volume and occupies space .

Matter is divided into three forms ;

  1. Solid
  2. Liquid
  3. Gas

Non- Matter is any substance that doesn't have mass and due to the fact that it doesn't have mass , it doesn't occupy any space but still exist.

Examples are

  1. The light from a torch
  2. The heat from a fire
  3. The sound of a police siren. and so on.

You cannot hold, taste, or smell these things because they are not matter they are forms of energy.

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.

non-matter has no mass and doesn't fill a volume.

Therefore matter is way different than non-matter.
