Question:
Which of the following are matter?
Chair, Air, Love, Smell, Hate, Almonds, Thought, Cold, Cold drinks, Smell of perfume
Answer:
Anything which occupies space, mass and can be felt by human senses are called matter. So the things from the above list which are matter are:
- Chair,
- Air,
- Almonds,
- Cold drink
- and Smell of a perfume (It is also considered in matter because it is due to the presence of some volatile substance in air).
Objects which are not matter from the above list are: Love, hate, Smell, Thought and Cold. (Note: Please see question 55. If you consider smell as sensation then it is not a matter. But the smell of something e.g. smell of perfume or flower is due to the presence of gaseous matter. For example, ammonia has a pungent smell and its smell is one of the ways to detect the presence of ammonia.)
