Sometimes it is in opposition to antimatter.

In this sense matter is everything that is composed of atoms, electrons, protons, neutrons and other more exotic particles. But not their anti particles.

It also doesn't include various things such as energy or gravity (though both matter and antimatter may carry energy, and have gravitational fields)

Why is it incorrect to say that matter contains heat?

Heat is not an internal property of matter (temperature is!), heat is just a way to change the temperature of an object... it is a flow of energy. Think of it this way, before you study for a physics test you have a certain level of understanding physics. While you read your text book (or wiki answers) you are studying (understanding is flowing into your head) and afterward you (hopefully) have a greater understanding of physics. Although "studying" went into you, you do not have a certain amount of "study" inside of you before or after, you had an amount of understanding. In that analogy, "studying" represents heat and "understanding of physics" represents temperature. Heat is just a way to change temperature and therefore you cannot say that matter contains heat!


What is the scientific way to write oxygen?

The scientific way to write oxygen is "O2". This symbol represents two oxygen atoms bonded together in a diatomic molecule.


How do you relate law of conservation of matter to science experiments?

That's equivalent to asking how you relate atoms to geology. Natural laws are at the basis of all natural phenomena, including those studied in scientific experiments. There's no way to evade them.


Is there a more scientific way of saying does not dissolve?

Insoluble, I think is the word.


Use the word matter in a sentence?

Science matter: The liquid changed into a different state of matter: a solid. Noun matter: The whole matter was just fascinating; The way plants use photosynthesis is incredible! Another matter: Why does it matter to you if you don't care about it?
