Excerpt from Compendium of Chemistry: Including General, Inorganic, and Organic Chemistry
Matter, material, or substance may be defined as anything which can be weighed without reference to its configuration.
Body is the name given to anything having a definite form. For example, iron, glass, and marble are forms Of matter, while a knife, a drinking-glass, and a marble statue are bodies.
Chemistry is the science of matter, its properties and its changes; its foundation is the law Of the conservation Of matter (p. Which states that no loss Of matter can take place in any chemical change.
All phenomena which accompany an alteration Of matter belong to the domain Of chemistry.
