chem Flashcards
the two major classifications of the properties of matter
physical and chemical properties
sub classifications of physical properties of matter
intensive and extensive properties
refers to the characteristic or trait of matter that can be observed or perceived with our senses easily without changing its chemical composition
physical properties
This is the characteristic or trait of matter that does not depend on the
amount
intensive property
examples of intensive properties of matter
temperature, malleability, diffusion, density and
ductility
is the ability of substance to be stretched into wire
ductility
is the ability of substance to be hammered or transformed into
thin sheet
malleability
is the ability of matter to be scattered or spread out. This can be observed when you add ink into the water
diffusion
It is the characteristic or trait of matter which is dependent on the amount or quantity
extensive property of matter
examples of extensive properties of matter
size, mass, volume, length and width
This is the characteristic or trait that can be observed when a matter reacts to another substance
chemical properties
examples of chemical properties of matter
Combustibility/flammability and oxidation
study of matter, composition, characteristics, and chemical reactions it undegoes
chemistry
termed used by Democritus that means indivisible
atomos
smallest particle of matter
atom
