The characteristics of matter include the following:
- Takes up space - Matter has volume and occupies space.
- Has mass - Matter has mass, which is a measure of the amount of matter in an object.
The other options are not characteristics of matter:
- Makes up atoms - Atoms are the basic units of matter, but this statement is somewhat misleading as it's better to say matter is made up of atoms.
- Created from mixtures - While matter can be formed from mixtures, this is not a fundamental characteristic of matter itself.
So, the correct characteristics of matter to select are:
- Takes up space
- Has mass
