what is matter?
Matter is stuff
Matter is a substance made up of various types of particles that occupies physical space and has inertia
what is pressure?
continuous physical force exerted on or against an object by something in contact with it.

What is the symbol W on the periodic table?
Tungsten
What is density?

What is Energy
the strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity.
