To determine which option is not considered matter, let's look at each choice.

Understanding Matter

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. This includes solids, liquids, and gases.

Analyzing the Options

  • Chair: This is a solid object, so it is matter.
  • Dettol: As a liquid, Dettol also qualifies as matter.
  • Smell: This is a sensory perception and does not have mass or occupy space, making it not matter.
  • Sugar: Being a solid substance, sugar is definitely matter.

Final Answer

The option that is not matter is Smell.
