Detailed Solution

The matter in our surroundings has mass and also occupies some space. These are the only two conditions that are needed to be matter.
Air is composed of molecules, mainly nitrogen, oxygen, and trace amounts of other gases such as carbon dioxide, helium, and neon. These molecules are constantly in motion, colliding with one another and with other objects in the environment.
