1) Knowledge of specific details and elements of basic chemistry

2.Define the terms matter, element, and atom.

Answer:

1) Matter, or anything that occupies space and has mass, makes up organisms. There are many different types of matter. Rocks, metals, oils, gases, and live beings are just a handful of the seemingly limitless varieties of matter.

2. 

• Matter - is the universe's physical stuff; it's everything with mass that takes up space.
• Element - The atomic number, or the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, can be used to classify elements. A particular element's atomic number is the same for all of its atoms.
• Atom - Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of an atom, while electrons circulate around it. Atoms are made up of subatomic particles, which are even smaller than atoms. Some of these subatomic particles are charged, and they behave in the same way as charged particles do: Particles with the same charge repel each other, while particles with opposite charges attract each other.
