What is matter and substance?
Matter is a substance that has inertia and occupies physical space. According to modern physics, matter consists of various types of particles, each with mass and size. The most familiar examples of material particles are the electron, the proton and the neutron. Combinations of these particles form atoms.
Are all types of matter substances?
Most matter consists of mixtures of pure substances, which can be homogeneous (uniform in composition) or heterogeneous (different regions possess different compositions and properties). Pure substances can be either chemical compounds or elements.
What are the seven types of matter?
Apart from the 7 classic states of matter, other possible forms are proposed such as Fermionic Condensate, Rydberg Molecule, Quantum Hall State, Photonic Matter, Degenerate Matter, Dark Matter and so on. Some of these states fit into the classical 7 state model discused above, but others are a grey area.
How can you classify any sample of matter?
Two principal ways of classifying matter are according to its physical state (as a gas, liquid, or solid) and according to its composition (as an element, compound, or mixture). A sample of matter can be a gas, a liquid, or a solid. These three forms of matter are called the states of matter.
What are some examples of matter in daily life?

What are the two specific types of matter?
Classification of Matters with Examples Classification of Matters. 1) Pure Matter: Same types of atoms or molecules comprise pure matters. Properties of Pure Matters: They are homogeneous. a) Elements: Element is the simplest matter which contains one type of atom. b) Compounds: Two or more than two elements come together in specific amounts and form new matter that we call compound.
