Understand the definition of matter: Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space (volume).
Review the given options and analyze whether each is a universal property of all matter:
- The ability to dissolve in water is not universal because not all substances are soluble in water.
- The ability to conduct electricity is not universal because many substances, like nonmetals and insulators, do not conduct electricity.
- Having a definite shape is not universal because matter can exist in different states (solid, liquid, gas), and liquids and gases do not have a definite shape.
