** Electricity is considered a type of energy, rather than a type of matter. (although energy and matter are linked by E = mc2 of course)

∙ 14y agoMatter is defined as anything with mass and volume. that is to say, anything we can detect with the sense of touch or taste. Science used to think that matter was EVERYTHING, but only about 50 years ago we started to understand the electromagnetic spectrum. everything NOT matter is called a WAVE. while matter is shown on a Periodic Table, waves are shown on the electromagnetic spectrum.
Basically, waves are all the same kind of unknown material. the difference in waves is only their WAVELENGTH, which is the length of space between a waves' top point and the next one. try searching Google for a picture of the electromagnetic spectrum, because its very difficult to describe in words.

∙ 13y agoWe generally define matter as that which has mass and occupies 3-dimentional space. Energy is not matter, and it is everywhere in the universe. It could be said that the universe is composed of two things: matter and energy. It is matter and energy that fill up spacetime in the universe.

∙ 13y agoThe Universe, as we currently understand it, is made up of matter, anti-matter, energy, dark energy and dark matter. The nature of dark matter is a very widely discussed topic and many of theories state it to be made up of normal matter. Nobody has a clue what dark energy is but it definitely isn't matter.

∙ 12y agosome that isn't matter is energy, and light also alot more.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agomatter is anything but: light, sound, and thought. Maybe sometimes it could also be the rainbow, electricity, energy, emotions/feelings.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoMatter is everywhere; all the universe is made from matter (including antimatter !). So when there is no matter its called vaccum.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoLight, Energy, Momentum, Angular Momentum, Idk there's quite a lot...

∙ 12y agoA vacuum would be the complete absence of matter.

What two things create matter in plants?
These is a rule of Physics, "matter can neither be created or destroyed".
What two things can matter be?
Matter can be made of waves and energy. Solids, gases, and liquids are also the three states that it can be in.
What is two things that can cause matter to change from one state to another?
breaking or creating molecular bonds -- increasing or decreasing heat energy
Is living things and non living things matter?
Living things are considered matter because they have mass and they occupy space. They also have temperature, therefor we living things are considered matter.Yes, because all living things are composed of, and comprised of, and derived from Matter.
How are the flow of energy different to the flow of matter?
Matter refers to solid substances such as plants, animals, and nutrients. Energy refers to the chemical process that produces the fuels needed by living things to survive. Flow means looking at how these two things change around in the food chain.
Matter depends on what two things?
Light
What two things do all matter have in common?
All matter has mass and volume.
What two groups can all things be described?
All things should fall into the following two categories: Matter and not-matter. Anything physical (eg. a rock) is made of matter, anything spiritual, relationship orientated or arsey science suggestion is not-matter.
What two things create matter in plants?
These is a rule of Physics, "matter can neither be created or destroyed".
What two things cause changes in matter?
heat and pressure
What two things make up matter?
Mass and atoms
Two things that determine the state that matter is in what are they?
temperature and pressure
What two things are produced when an organic matter is burned?
H2O and CO2
What two things can matter be?
Matter can be made of waves and energy. Solids, gases, and liquids are also the three states that it can be in.
Organisms are not closed systems because they use two things which are?
energy and matter.
What two things keep the earth and moon in their orbits?
Gravity and dark matter.
What two things characterize all matter?
All matter 1) has mass and 2) occupies space (has volume).
