This term describes substances present in oils and fats which are not glycerides and are resistant to saponification by strong alkali. Unsaponifiable matter is usually expressed as a percentage of the whole.
what substances are made of.
anything that occupies space and has mass
everything in the universe that is made up of matter particles is called matter.
matter: the densest form of energy, made up of atoms (mostly composed of the subatomic particles protons, electrons and neutrons), which are the building blocks of all chemicals, minerals, and organic forms in the third dimension. Matter makes up the physical bodies of stars, planets, and other celestial bodies, and ranges from solid to liquid to gas and plasma, and many other forms.
The feminine (negative) polarity of the Godhead, of which the masculine (positive) polarity is Spirit. Matter acts as a chalice for the kingdom of God and is the abiding place of evolving souls. Matter is distinguished from matter (lowercase m)—the substance of the earth earthy, of the realms of maya, which blocks rather than radiates divine light and the Spirit of the I AM THAT I AM. See also Mother; Spirit.
1. Gravitationally trapped light. 2. Substance-like phenomena, physical manifestation. 3. Energy form with a heavier, slower vibration than mind or spirit.
Anything that has mass (the amount of material in an object) and takes up space. On the earth, where gravity is present, we weigh an object to determine its mass.
Matter is any physical substance. In contrast, energy is a non-physical quantity. Einstein's famous formula, E=mc2, introduced a revolutionary relationship between matter and energy. Before his discovery, matter and energy were assumed to be completely separate quantities. But Einstein theorized that at the smallest levels, matter and energy are interchangeable.
The material out of which all ordinary material is made. Protons, neutrons, and electrons are examples of matter, as is a piece of wood, a puddle of water, or an animal or plant. All matter has the properties that it occupies a volume and has inertia. The measure of the amount of matter in an object is that object's mass. See also
Stuff of which all materials are made; anything that has mass. As opposed to pure energy.
Material substance of which an element, elements or mass is composed. In this, use does not refer to cartridge elements.
Anything with mass is known as matter. Lead, salt, water, alcohol are all considered matter. All these forms represent the three basic forms of matter. Solid, Liquid, Gas.
whatever occupies space and can be perceived by our senses.
something that occupies space and has mass; the three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas
Matter is anything which occupies space. There are three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. It is made up of atoms.
anything that takes up space and has mass.
containing mass, a measure of the total amount of material in a body, defined either by the inertial properties of the body or by its gravitational influence on other bodies.
the universe and all that it is within is composed of matter.
Matter is anything that has mass. Air, water, coffee, fire, human beings, and stars are matter. Light, X-rays, photons, gravitons, information, and love aren't matter.
anything that occupies space. Usually defined by describing its states and properties: solid, liquid, or gas; possesses mass, inertia, color, density, melting point, hardness, crystal form, mechanical strength, or chemical properties. Composed of atoms .
that which has mass and occupies space; "an atom is the smallest indivisible unit of matter"
a problem; "is anything the matter?"
a substance of which a physical object is composed a substance that constitutes the observable universe and together with energy forms the basis of objective phenomena.
Any substance that occupies space and has mass: the material of which the universe is made. It normally exists in the three states of gas, liquid or solid. Plasma is considered to be a forth state but it only exists at very high temperatures e.g., in stars.
That which occupies space; that which has extension; that which can be discovered or discerned empirically, or with the senses.
Anything which takes up space and has mass. Matter is made of atoms.
A type of substance. For example, "plant matter" is material made of plants or plant parts.
Anything that is printed; TEXT.
An aggregate material particles possessing inertia and capable of occupying space; matter and energy are regarded as equivalents, mutually convertible according to Einstein‘s formula, E = mc2 (i.e., energy equals mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of light).
mass and energy; fundamental component of the Universe
That which has traditionally been contrasted with form or with mind. In the philosophy of materialism, matter is the substance and basis of all reality, and is usually conceived of in the spirit of atomism. In Newtonian physics, matter, distinguished by mass and extension, was contrasted with energy. According to relativity theory, mass and energy are mutually transformable, and material systems are now regarded as forms of energy.
Material substance that occupies space, has mass and is composed of atoms consisting of protons, neutrons and electrons that constitutes the observable universe, and that is interchangeable with energy.
A word used for any kind of stuff that contains mass.
Anything that has mass and can be detected and measured. All matter is made up of atoms. Matter usually exists as a solid, a liquid or a gas.
the substance of which a physical object is composed : the chemical elements and their physical properties that constitute the substance.
Matter is anything that has mass and volume.
Something that has mass and takes up space.
is anything that takes up space or has a mass of any kind. We are matter and so is the air we breathe.
Any substance that has weight or mass and occupies space. All matter is made up of individual atoms or groups of atoms known as molecules. Individual atoms are classified as elements, the building blocks of matter.
A word used to describe anything that contains mass.
something that has mass which can exist in the form of a solid, liquid, gas or plasma
Matter is anything which occupies space and has mass.
Any substance that has mass (weight) and occupies space. It exists in any of three forms including a solid, liquid or gas.
Anything which has mass and occupies space.
Physical substance; that which has mass; trouble or difficulty. Mentality Completeness of vitality and emotionality combined; mode of thought.
Anything that is a particle or is composed of particles.
Something that occupies space and can be perceived by one or more senses; a physical body, a physical substance, or the universe as a whole.
the physical material that makes up the universe
Physical substance that occupies space, has mass, is composed of atoms (or in the case of subatomic particles, is part of an atom), and is convertible to energy.
Fluid as mulaprakriti in the Great Sea of Pisces. A polar opposite of Spirit. Septenary in manifestation. Becoming permeable through evolution.
Anything that has mass and occupies space.
A physical substance, having mass and occupying space. At its most basic level matter consists of fundamental particles such as electrons and quarks. Quarks are the fundamental building blocks of protons and neutrons which are the components of atomic nuclei.
A substance that takes up space and has weight.
Matter is the term used to describe the substance of which all living and non-living things are made. It has mass and can be experienced with our senses. Matter is made up of atoms which group together to form molecules. Matter can be in the form of a solid, a liquid, or a gas. At exceedingly high temperatures, the atoms of matter are shaken apart creating a state of matter called plasma. Our Sun and other stars are in the plasma state.
