( Matter)
Matter is commonly defined as being anything that has both mass and volume (takes up space). However, this definition is ambiguous and debatable, leading some physicists to define matter in terms of certain types of elementary particles. "Normal matter" constitutes about 5% of the mass of the observable universe. The remaining mass is thought to be due to exotic and poorly understood forms of mass, such as dark matter and dark energy. The common definition of matter is anything that has both mass and volume (occupies space). For example, a car would be said to be made of matter, as it occupies space, and has mass. In chemistry, this is often taken to mean what atoms and molecules are made of, meaning anything made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. For example, phosphorus sesquisulfide is a molecule made of four atoms of phosphorus, and three of sulfur (see image on right), and is thus considered to be matter. However in physics, there is no broad consensus as to an exact definition of matter, partly because the notion of "taking up space" is ambiguous in quantum mechanics, and partly because mass doesn't lead to a "natural classification" of particles. Therefore physicists generally do not use the term matter when precision is needed, preferring instead to speak of the more clearly defined concepts of mass, energy, and particles. In discussions of matter and antimatter, normal matter is also sometimes referred to as koinomatter.[1]
