adjective. not animate; lifeless. spiritless; sluggish; dull.

The potato is an inanimate vegetable.

Vegetables are edible objects found on plants. To avoid confusion, fruits in this wiki are considered vegetables.

Parts of objects. Body part terms are commonly extended to characterize the “anatomy” of inanimate objects. As mentioned, English speakers widely ascribe backs and fronts, not to mention feet and heads, to things like chairs and beds.

A dead human body is a material object—a messy, maybe dangerous, perhaps valuable, often useful, and always tangible thing.

appearing dead; not breathing or having no perceptible pulse. “an inanimate body”; “pulseless and dead”

A plant moves a changes on its own, hence isn’t inanimate. They’re living organisms, and in some cases have been shown to be able to “communicate” through chemical reactions.

1 : not animate: a : not endowed with life or spirit an inanimate object. b : lacking consciousness or power of motion an inanimate body.

Do you think fire is living or non-living? People sometimes think fire is living because it consumes and uses energy, requires oxygen, and moves through the environment. Fire is actually non-living.

Answer: Yes, inanimate objects can exert forces. For instance, if you stand on a trampoline, the trampoline deforms under your weight (see Figure 3.1), and the trampoline exerts an upward force on you to prevent you from falling through it.

The flames are obviously not solid, nor are they liquid. Mingling with the air, they’re more like a gas, but more visible–and more fleeting. And on a scientific level, fire differs from gas because gases can exist in the same state indefinitely while fires always burn out eventually.

The Sun is our nearest star. It is, as all stars are, a hot ball of gas made up mostly of Hydrogen. The Sun is so hot that most of the gas is actually plasma, the fourth state of matter. Gas is the third state of matter.

Smoke is a collection of tiny solid, liquid and gas particles. Although smoke can contain hundreds of different chemicals and fumes, visible smoke is mostly carbon (soot), tar, oils and ash. Smoke occurs when there is incomplete combustion (not enough oxygen to burn the fuel completely).

Air is a gas (more specifically a mixture of gasses: approx. 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, and the rest Carbon Dioxide, water vapour, and trace amounts of mainly noble gasses). Gas is one of the four distinct states (phases) that matter can exist in. The others being: Solid, liquid and plasma.

Smoke is a collection of airborne solid and liquid particulates and gases emitted when a material undergoes combustion, so we can say that smoke is the mixture. Hence, smoke is a mixture.

Smoke, smog, and laughing gas are matter. Energy, light, and sound, however, are not matter; ideas and emotions are also not matter. Under normal conditions, there are three distinct states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases.

Smoke is a collection of small and tiny unburned particles. It actually contains more of fumes and chemicals. The smoke is visible to us in form of ash and carbon. It is kind of solid particle present or dispersed in the gas.

Water illustrates the three states of matter: solid (ice), gas (steam), and liquid (water).
