Chemistry - Properties Flashcards
1
Q
Malleability
A
ability to be hammered/bent into shape (aluminum foil)
2
Q
Ductility
A
ability to be pulled into wire form (copper wire)
3
Q
Colour
A
Metals are silvery-grey (except for Cu and Au), while non-metals are found in all colours
4
Q
State
A
Matter is found in all three states: Solid, Liquid, and Gas
5
Q
Hardness
A
ability to resist scratching (diamonds are harder than glass, so they can be used to cut it)
6
Q
Viscosity
A
Measure of a fluids resistance to flow (molasses has a higher viscosity than water)
7
Q
Solubility
A
Ability of a substance to dissolve in a liquid
8
Q
Texture
A
How rough or smooth something is (sandpaper is rough, silk is smooth)
9
Q
