Nature of MatterNature of Matter All of the materials around you are
made up of matter. You are made up of matter, as are the chair you sit on and the air you breathe.
1. Give an example of solid matter.2. Give an example of liquid matter.3. Give an example of gaseous matter.4. Is all matter visible? 5. Does all matter take up space?
