Chapter 2, Problem 1RQ
All physical objects are composed of __________.
- a. substances
- b. matter
- c. neutrons
- d. ketons
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
All physical objects are composed of __________.
Explanation of Solution
Fundamental constituents that are named as elements are combined together to form a matter. The matter constituents are combined together to form a physical object. The physical object is may be wood, iron, cloth, solid, gas, and liquid. Hence, all physical components are made up of matter.
Thus, the correct answer is “option b. matter”.
