is an electron a matter?

is an electron a matter?
tau
Ravalanche said:how can electron be a matter if its not a particle? it behaves like a wave right? how can something with mass just simply vanish and appear at another space.
correct me if I'm wrong.

neutrino' said:so anythinng with rest mass is matter?
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. It is the physical substance that makes up the universe and all the objects in it.
Matter is classified into different categories based on its physical and chemical properties. The three main states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Matter can also be classified as a pure substance or a mixture.
Yes, an electron is considered matter. It has a very small mass and takes up a very small amount of space, but it still has mass and occupies space, making it a form of matter.
Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom. They play a crucial role in chemical reactions and the formation of chemical bonds, which are responsible for the properties of different types of matter.
According to the law of conservation of mass, matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed into different states or forms. This means that the total amount of matter in the universe remains constant.
