Matter is a physical substance in general, as distinct from mind and spirit; (in physics) that which occupies space and possesses rest mass, especially as distinct from energy
Different types of matter
There are different types of matter there is pure substance and mixture. pure substance is a element which is one substance, and compound which is one or more.the next is mixture there are five types of mixtures there are homogeneous,heterogeneous,solutions,supension, and colloid. click the tab below to find out what these mean
Pure substance
Element
An element is a substance made from only one type of atom. For example, Oxygen (oxygen symbol) is an element made up of ONLY oxygen atoms
Compound
A compound is a substance made from two or more elements that have reacted chemically with each other. The elements in the compound can NOT be separated by physical means.
Different type of Mixtures
Homogeneous Mixture
A homogeneous substance is When a sample of matter has the same composition throughout, we call that substance a homogeneous substance.
Heterogeneous mixture
A heterogeneous mixture is one that does not have uniform properties and composition. Take a look at a bowl of cereal with nuts. A spoon full will surely have a different number of nuts than a second spoonful taken at random. Another example—take some sea-sand into your palms. Look at it closely and you will notice that some sand particles are bigger than others, and the colors of some particles may be different too. They are NOT uniform in any way!
