Properties are characteristics that can be used to describe a substance.
All matter has two types of properties:
Physical :
(Characteristics that can be noticed when the substance is alone ).
Chemical:
(Characteristics that can be seen when the substance interact with other substances)
List Physical Properties: (11)
What happens when a substance goes under physical change?
its appearance or state may be altered, but its composition stays the same.
Melting point:
is the temperature at which it changes from a solid to a liquid.
Boiling point
is the temperature at which its liquid phase changes to the gas phase.
Hardness
is a substance’s ability to resist being scratched
Malleability
A substance that can be pounded or rolled into sheets is said to be malleable
- Aluminum foil
Ductility
Any solid that can be stretched into a long wire is said to be ductile
-Copper
Crystal shape
The shape of a substance’s crystals can help identify it.
- Salt crystals form cubes.
Solubility
is the ability of a substance to be dissolved in another.
- For example, sugar is soluble in
water, but cooking oil is not.
Density
is the amount of mass in a given volume of a substance.
Conductivity
is the ability of a substance to conduct electricity or heat
A chemical property describes how a substance interacts with other substances such as acids
Chemical Properties :
What is a chemical change?
A chemical change always results in the formation of a different substance or substances.
Ex. Pancakes
Pure substance:
A pure substance is made of only one kind of matter and has a unique set of properties that sets it apart from any other kind of matter
element:
An element is a material that cannot be broken down into any simpler substance.
compound:
When two or more elements combine chemically they form a compound.
Ex: hydrogen + oxygen = water
mixture:
A mixture is a combination of pure substances
