What is matter made out of?

Answer 1

energy

Answer 2

According to currently accepted theory matter is a form of energy, as in
energy= mass X speed of light (squared) or e=mc^2.
given by Einstein.
However, there are several rather complicated ways in which to explain how this energy forms matter, with no conclusive results in any direction.The currently accepted standard model, uses particles (bosons, fermions etc) described as points in space, or as waves or "wavicles" depending on the situation. This model works for the overwhelming majority of scenarios, but it does leave some interesting gaps, and questions to be answered.
To get another point of view, try looking up string theory at:

or try

which gives an interesting approach, although even after a bachelors and masters in physics i still dont really understand!

Answer 3

matter is mostly air, and only actually a small percentage of particles. the electromagnetic fields produced by the electrons orbiting within atoms creates the illusion of solidity.

The particles are molecules. Molecules are formed by atoms which are held together by the electromagnetic force. Atoms are formed by subatomic particles bound by the strong nuclear forces such as protons, neutrons, and electrons. Subatomic particles are formed by imaginary particles bound by the weak nuclear force (things such as leptons, quarks, etc). We don't know what forms these particles yet, but at the furthest base we know that matter and energy are strongly related (interchangable as well). As the saying goes in quantum classes: "quantum mechanics: the dreams stuff is made of." (just a little physics humor for you there)

Answer 4

Small particles called atoms, which are made of even smaller particles called protons, neutrons, and elecrons. Different energy levels and different numbers of these particles give matter its physical properties such as density.

Answer 5

That is a hard question because "matter" is a very general word. Matter can be anything and everything that exists is matter.

Answer 6

Matter is composed of atoms. Atoms are made of subatomic particles which include, negatively charged electrons, positively charged protons, and neutral neutrons.

Answer 7

Atoms

Answer 8

I just learned this ( i am in the 6th grade) they are made of volume, atoms, mass and energy

Answer 9

Matter is made of atoms.

Answer 10

Anything that has mass and takes up space.

Answer 11

atoms and stuff like that
