Detailed explanation-1: -Matter is defined as anything that occupies space and has mass. Atoms and molecules are all composed of matter. Matter requires at least one subatomic particle, although most matter consists of atoms. For example, house, tree, molecules, compounds etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -Solids.
