Question

which of the following statements about matter is false? matter occupies space and has mass. matter exists in either a solid, liquid or gas state. matter is ultimately composed of atoms. matter is smooth and continuous.

Explanation:

Matter is made up of atoms and has spaces between them, so it is not smooth and continuous. Matter does occupy space and has mass, exists in solid, liquid, or gas states (and other states like plasma under certain conditions but the basic three - state description is common), and is ultimately composed of atoms.

Answer:

Matter is smooth and continuous.
