What is Matter
The smallest unit of matter
an atom
The amount of matter an object contains
mass
type of matter where there is no fixed shape and no fixed volume
gas
A distinct form in which matter exisists, a description of how compacted or spread out the molecules are
state of matter
Where is DNA?
Wrapped in a ball inside each cell
Two or more atoms attracted to each other and traveling together
a molecule
When matter resisits lightwaves traveling through it
opacity
matter with a fixed shape and fixed volume
solid
A characterisitic of matter where it is easy for electricity to pass through a particular type of matter
conductivity
What is DNA?
Instructions for the cell ( A book about you or the organism it is part of)
Atoms are mostly ______________
empty space
When light waves travel through an object
Transparency
A very hot gas that has WAY more energy than any of the other states of matter
