Matter in our Surroundings - Class 9

1:- What is material?
  Ans:- A material is a substance or mixture of substances that constitutes an object.

2:- What is matter?
  Ans:- Any thing that has mass and occupies space is called matter.
            Matter has both mass and volume.
            Ex:- air, food, stone, cloud, stars, animals, plants, water, sand etc.

3:- What is mass?
  Ans:- Mass is the matter contained in a body.
            The SI. unit of mass is Kilogram (kg).

4:- What is volume?
  Ans:- The amount of space that a substance occupies is called its volume.
            The SI. unit of volume is cubic meter (m3).
            The common unit of measuring volume is litre (L).

                1litre = 1dm3 
                1litre = 1000 mL
                1mL  = 1cm3    

5:- Is matter continuous or particulate?
  Ans:- Matter is particulate. It is made up of particles.

6:- Prove that matter is made up of particles.
  Ans:- When we dissolve sugar in water the water level doesnot rise but the sugar completely 
            dissolve into water because the particles of sugar get into the space between particles 
            of water, so we can say that matter is made up of particles.
