B. texture.
C. temperature.
D. mass.
The suitable terms for the blanks in the statement. "Matter is a substance that occupies space and has ______."
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The suitable terms for the blanks in the statement. "Matter is a substance that occupies space and has mass."
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Matter defines as the substance that has mass and occupies the volume in space.
Any substance atoms and molecules which are held by the bond force.
The substances has mass due to presence of atoms and molecules.
Matter exists in commonly three different forms solid, liquid and gas.
The mass less particles cannot be termed as matter because it violates the definition of matter.
The mass less particles are like photons, sound waves, light waves and many more.
The photons are the quantum of energy which travels in vacuum.
Conclusion:
The suitable terms for the blanks in the statement. "Matter is a substance that occupies space and has mass
