Where to find antimatter?
Anywhere with elementary particles having the mass and electric charge of ordinary matter. Which basically all antimatter is.
What is the second smallest matter?
We could say what the second smallest piece of matter if we knew what the smallest piece of matter was. Since the smallest pieces of matter known are quarks-down, strange and bottom have the lowest charge -3, they can be regarded as the first, second and third smallest particles.
A sentence for the word electric charge?
an electrical charge is a physical property of matter which causes it to experience a force when near other electrically charged matter
What does it mean to say that charge is quantized?
Electrical charge is always quantized. In nature it is observed in units of + or - 1 esu (electrostatic unit), the charge of one proton or one electron. This is the smallest known stable charge. However, quarks, which make up protons have charges of + or - 1/3 or 2/3. So the smallest know quantum of charge is 1/3. But quarks are not stable individually; only when they are bound together in threes to form a proton.
Why do sound light and electricity do not have matter?
For sound:Sound is waves. Matter moves as the waves go through it but the waves are not made of matter.For light:Light is an electromagnetic wave i.e. just oscillating electric & magnetic fields.For Electricity:Electricity is the movement of charge. The charge is carried by matter (or antimatter for that matter).

Is a cell the smallest particle of ordinary matter?
No, a cell is the smallest part of a living organism that can be considered alive.
Is the smallest unit of a matter that is not divided by ordinary means called an atom?
yes
Can you move matter with an electric charge?
Yes!
What is the second smallest matter?
We could say what the second smallest piece of matter if we knew what the smallest piece of matter was. Since the smallest pieces of matter known are quarks-down, strange and bottom have the lowest charge -3, they can be regarded as the first, second and third smallest particles.
Unit of matter that has mass but does not have an electric charge?
neutron
What is charge?
Charge is a physical property that causes matter to experience a force within an electromagnetic field.
What property of matter gives rise to both electricity and magnetism?
Electric charge is the property of matter that gives rise to both electricity and magnetism.
Are electrons the same as electric charge?
No. An electric charge is a property of certain particles (and larger amounts of matter); electrons have an electric charge of (-1) elementary units, but other particles also have electric charge. For example, protons have an electric charge of (-1), quarks may have charges like (2/3) and (-1/3), etc.

Why do charged objects not glow?
There is no reason that electric charge should glow. Emitting light would require the expenditure of energy, which does not just grow on trees. Remember: Whenever you look at anything ... anything! ... you're looking at material that's loaded with electric charge. What we call a "charged object" is just something that somehow has more of one kind of charge and less of the other. But there's no such thing as ordinary matter without charge.
The fundamental property of matter that may be identified as positive or negative is?
electric charge
