Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the definition of matter. Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space (volume).
Step 2: Analyze each option to see if it has mass and occupies space. Iron, water, and air are all substances that have mass and take up space, so they are forms of matter.
Step 3: Consider light. Light is a form of energy and does not have mass or occupy space, so it is not considered matter.
Step 4: Conclude that among the given options, light is the one that is NOT a form of matter because it lacks mass and volume.
Step 5: Remember that matter includes solids, liquids, and gases, but not energy forms like light.
