Say you have a cup of water, if you add more water, then its volume changes, but it’s still the same matter. Volume can change but the matter stays the same. Say you have a pound of silver. If you add 2 lbs of silver, you now have a different mass of silver, but it’s still silver. Mass can change but the matter stays the same.
