The difference between dark matter and ordinary matter How matter can be converted to energy and vice versa E=π π 2 Nuclear energy comes from converting matter into energy Energy can be defined as a state of matter, and its capacity to change So far, we have focused on matterβs relationship with energy and other substances in the universe.

Categorizing matter The number, type, and organization of the atoms within matter can vary
41
Categorizing matter The number, type, and organization of the atoms within matter can vary Therefore, we have created subcategories to differentiate between these atom arrangements
