Different forms of energies are regarded as non-matter.
A.True
B.False
Solution
Matter: Anything which occupies space and has mass is known as matter. Matter is made of atoms and molecules.
Non-matter: Anything which does not have mass and does not occupy space is known as non-matter. For example: heat, light, sunlight.
Complete step by step solution:
Let us first understand what is matter and non-matter.
Matter: Anything which occupies space and has mass is known as matter. Matter is made of atoms and molecules. There are basically three states of matter known as solids, liquids and gas.
Non-matter: Anything which does not have mass and does not occupy space is known as non-matter. For example: heat, light, sunlight.
Hence, different forms of energies are regarded as non-matter.
So option A i.e. true is the correct answer.
Additional information:
Solids: Solids are those states of matter which have definite shape and definite volume. Fixed shape means if we place them in any container then their shape will not change. It will be the same as before.
Liquids: Liquids are those states of matter whose atoms or particles are held together by intermolecular force which is less than that of forces in solids.
Gases: Gases are those states of matter whose atoms or particles are held together by a very weak force of attraction i.e. vanderwaal force of attraction which is less than that of forces in solids and in liquids. Gases do not have definite volume and do not have definite shape.
Apart from these three states of matter there are two more states i.e. plasma and Bose Einstein.
Plasma: It is a superheated matter as matter is so heated so the electrons are far apart from each other forming the state as ionized gas.
Bose Einstein: It is a state of matter which is supercooled i.e. absolute zero. For example: superconductors and superfluids.
Note:
The conversion of solid to liquid is known as melting, conversion of solid to gas without going into liquid phase is known as sublimation, conversion of liquid to solid is known as freezing or solidification, conversion of liquid to gas is known as vapourization, conversion of gas to solid without going to liquid phase is desublimation and conversion of gas to liquid is known as condensation.
