Detailed explanation-1: -Matter is a substance made up of various types of particles that occupies physical space and has inertia. According to the principles of modern physics, the various types of particles each have a specific mass and size. The most familiar examples of material particles are the electron, the proton and the neutron.

Detailed explanation-2: -And the amount of matter in a substance is called mass.

Detailed explanation-3: -Elements are a class of chemicals that are the simplest forms of matter; those elements in nature range from hydrogen to uranium. Metals (such as aluminum and silver) are elements that tend to be malleable (can be shaped or formed by hammering or pressure without breaking) and ductile (can be drawn into wires).

Detailed explanation-4: -A specific sample of matter is called material. For example plastic is a material. A substance refers to either a pure chemical element or compound. Example iron, water etc.

Detailed explanation-5: -The term matter refers to anything that occupies space and has mass-in other words, the “stuff” that the universe is made of. All matter is made up of substances called elements, which have specific chemical and physical properties and cannot be broken down into other substances through ordinary chemical reactions.
