Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

However, a battery according to Chapter 4 (Torts and Cyber Torts) refers to "unexcused, harmful or offensive, physical contact with another that is intentionally performed."

While an Assault is referred to as "any word or action intended to make another person fearful of immediate physical harm—a reasonably believable threat."
