Does energy in the form of molecules,atoms,ions, have a consistancy making them matter of some kind?

No common denominator for the energy in the things you mention except that if it has mass, then it embodies the energy given in E = mc^2\n\nThis applies to ALL matter.

I would say NO... at certain point, particles are made of energy, and energy can't be splitted as matter does...

Realllllll Simply:\n\nCovalent molecules (atoms that make up the molecule) each contribute enough electrons (which are shared) to each other so that each atom thinks is has the nearest Noble Gas configuration. \n\nIonic molecules (the atoms that make up the molecule) transfer the electrons. One atom gains them and one atom loses them. Thus the atoms become ions (as in ionic bond), so they have charges.\n\nGet an "A".

Yes. A quantum of energy is invariant unless it interacts with another particle. A certain photon of a given frequency and wavelength has invariant energy.

Molecules always refer to atoms that have covalent bonds (like a water molecule). Stuff with ionic bonds are just ionic compounds.\n\nMore info: http://misterguch.brinkster.net/covalentcompounds.html

An atom has no charge because it likes to be stable and to be stable it has the same number of protons (positively charged particles)as it has electrons (negatively charged particles) therefore they cancel each other out of course sometimes they are not stable and are called ions which are charged atoms

complex ions - which then form ionic molecules

CHEMISTRY I: ATOMS AND MOLECULES\nTable of Contents\nAtoms | Electrons and energy | Chemical Bonding | Chemical reactions and molecules\n\nLearning Objectives | Terms | Review Questions | Links\nAtoms | Back to Top\n\nMost of the Universe consists of matter and energy. Energy is the capacity to do work. Matter has mass and occupies space. All matter is composed of basic elements that cannot be broken down to substances with different chemical or physical properties. Elements are substances consisting of one type of atom, for example Carbon atoms make up diamond, and also graphite. Pure (24K) gold is composed of only one type of atom, gold atoms. Atoms are the smallest particle into which an element can be divided. The ancient Greek philosophers developed the concept of the atom, although they considered it the fundamental particle that could not be broken down. Since the work of Enrico Fermi and his colleagues, we now know that the atom is divisible, often releasing tremendous energies as in nuclear explosions or (in a controlled fashion in) thermonuclear power plants.\n\nSubatomic particles were discovered during the 1800s. For our purposes we will concentrate only on three of them. The proton is located in the center (or nucleus) of an atom, each atom has at least one proton. Protons have a charge of +1, and a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit (amu). Elements differ from each other in the number of protons they have, e.g. Hydrogen has 1 proton; Helium has 2.\n\nThe neutron also is located in the atomic nucleus (except in Hydrogen). The neutron has no charge, and a mass of slightly over 1 amu. Some scientists propose the neutron is made up of a proton and electron-like particle.\n\nThe electron is a very small particle located outside the nucleus. Because they move at speeds near the speed of light the precise location of electrons is hard to pin down. Electrons occupy orbitals, or areas where they have a high statistical probability of occurring. The charge on an electron is -1. Its mass is negligible (approximately 1800 electrons are needed to equal the mass of one proton).\n\nThe atomic number is the number of protons an atom has. It is characteristic and unique for each element. The atomic mass (also referred to as the atomic weight) is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Atoms of an element that have differing numbers of neutrons (but a constant atomic number) are termed isotopes. Isotopes can be used to determine the diet of ancient peoples by determining proportions of isotopes in mummified or fossilized human tissues. Biochemical pathways can be deciphered by using isotopic tracers. The age of fossils and artifacts can be determined by using radioactive isotopes, either directly on the fossil (if it is young enough) or on the rocks that surround the fossil 9for older fossils like dinosaurs). Isotopes are also the source of radiation used in medical diagnostic and treatment procedures.\n\nNote that each of these isotopes of hydrogen has only one proton. Isotopes differ from each other in the number of neutrons, not in the number of protons.

Other isotopes are stable. Examples of radioisotopes are Carbon-14 (symbol 14C), and deuterium (also known as Hydrogen-2; 2H). Stable isotopes are 12C and 1H.\n\nCarbon has three isotopes, of which carbon-12 and carbon-14 are the most well known.

Molecules came from atoms combining. Atoms came from protons, neutrons, and electrons combining. Protons and neutrons came from quarks combining. Quarks and electrons came from condensation from the high energy vacuum. Where that came is still a bit up in the air, but look at the website below:\n\nhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/05/060515232747.htm

In all molecules, there is a type of chemical energy called "enthalpy", it is the energy stored in bonds.  Think of it this way, all particles want to be free and in motion, in complete disorder, thats the "entropic" nature of the universe.  So, it takes energy to make particles stick together (forming compounds and molecules).  This energy is stored in bonds, and when the bonds are broken, the energy is released.  Our cells have the ability to break these bonds, and utilize this energy.\n\nThink of it this way, glucose is C6H12O6.  Our cells can break down all of the bonds in glucose until we form a few CO2 and water molecules.  Thats how we get our energy.

The definations wanted by you are given below-\n\nIn physics, matter is commonly defined as the substance of which physical objects are composed, not counting the contribution of various energy or force-fields, which are not usually considered to be matter per se (though they may contribute to the mass of objects). Matter constitutes much of the observable universe, although again, light is not ordinarily considered matter. Unfortunately, for scientific purposes, "matter" is somewhat loosely defined.\n\nMass is a property of a physical object that quantifies the amount of matter and energy it is equivalent to. Mass is a central concept of classical mechanics and related subjects, and there are several forms of mass within the framework of relativistic kinematics (see mass in special relativity and mass in General Relativity). In the theory of relativity, the quantity invariant mass, which in concept is close to the classical idea of mass, does not vary between single observers in different reference frames.\n\nAn elementary particle is a particle with no measurable internal structure, that is, it is not a composite of other particles. They are the fundamental objects of quantum field theory. Elementary particles can be classified according to their spin, with fermions having half-integer spin and bosons integer spin.\n\nSpace has been an interest for philosophers and scientists for much of human history. The term is used somewhat differently in different fields of study, hence it is difficult to provide an uncontroversial and clear definition outside of specific defined contexts. Disagreement also exists on whether space itself can be measured or is part of the measuring system. (See Space in philosophy.) Many fields use an operational definition in which the units of measurement are defined, but not space itself.\n\nIn chemistry and physics, an atom (Greek  átomos meaning "indivisible") is the smallest particle of a chemical element that retains its chemical properties. \n\nA chemical element, often called simply an element, is a substance that cannot be decomposed or transformed into other chemical substances by ordinary chemical processes. All matter consists of these elements and as of 2006, 117 unique elements have been discovered or artificially created. The smallest particle of such an element is an atom, which consists of electrons centered about a nucleus of protons and neutrons.\n\nIn chemistry, a molecule is an aggregate of two or more atoms in a definite arrangement held together by chemical bonds. Chemical substances are not infinitely divisible into smaller fractions of the same substance: a molecule is generally considered the smallest particle of a pure substance that still retains its composition and chemical properties. Certain pure substances (e.g., metals, molten salts, crystals, etc.) are best understood as being composed of networks or aggregates of atoms or ions instead of molecular units.\n\nIn particle physics, antimatter extends the concept of the antiparticle to matter, wherein if a particle and its antiparticle come into contact with each other, the two annihilate —that is, they may both be converted into other particles with equal energy in accordance with Einstein's equation E = mc2. This gives rise to high-energy photons (gamma rays) or other particle–antiparticle pairs-.

while i cant give you scientific terms, the best short answer i can give is that they are all forms of energy.

Matter is anything that has Mass and takes up space.  The general properties of matter are mass, weight, volume and density.   They are considered physical properties.\n\nLook around you and you will see matter.  Air is matter because it takes up space.  Heat and light does not have mass or takes up space, so it is not matter.  \n\nScientists have separated matter into states or phases.  Prior to 1985 there were 4 states or phases, today we have 5 states or phases.  Each of these phases certain properties associated with each phases.  Matter can be changed from one state or phase to another phase by energy.  There are five types of phase changes.

In Greek atomic theory, the atom was considered the smallest, indivisible, particle of matter.\nThey view atoms as the basic building block of everything else, and all atoms were identical, different combinations of how they were put together determined the properties of the substance.\n\nOf course, we now know that atoms themselves are made up of smaller, sub-atomic, particles, which are then intern made up of even smaller particles.  Atoms are the smallest particles of a given element which will exibit the properties of that element.  Different elements, and thus different types of atoms, exist.  So the Greeks were not correct in that respect.
