Ordinary matter is anything that has mass and volume, but the ever advancing field of quantum mechanics is changing this definition.

Why are photons not like ordinary particles of matter?

Photons are massless particles that do not experience gravitational forces, unlike ordinary particles of matter. They also do not have rest mass and always travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. Additionally, photons do not have electric charge, which distinguishes them from most ordinary particles of matter.


What is the smallest unit of electric charge of occurs in ordinary matter?

The smallest unit of electric charge that occurs in ordinary matter is the charge of an electron, which is approximately -1.6 x 10^-19 coulombs.


What distinguishes gas from the other two ordinary states of matter?

Gas is distinguished from the other two ordinary states of matter, solid and liquid, by its ability to expand to fill the space it is in, taking the shape of its container. This is because gas particles are further apart and have more energy compared to particles in solids and liquids.


What does strange matter look like and how can it be distinguished from other forms of matter?

Strange matter is a hypothetical form of matter that is made up of strange quarks. It is believed to be more stable than ordinary matter. Strange matter is thought to be extremely dense and may appear as a solid or liquid. It can be distinguished from other forms of matter by its unique composition of strange quarks and its high density.


What is baryonic matter?

BARYONS: family of sub-atomic particles referring to tri-quarks that is it is made up of three quarks. Their baryon number is 1. Each baryon has an antiparticle in which quark is replaced by corresponding antiquarks Examples:- lambda, sigma ,proton, neutron, xi, omega They can also be defined as strongly interacting fermions.
