Liquid
a substance that flows freely but is of constant volume because of its particles being further away
Gas
state of matter with no fixed shape or volume
Deposition/Desublimation
Gas turning into a solid
physical properties
properties that you can either observe using your five senses — seeing, hearing, touching, smelling and tasting — or measure directly
chemical properties
properties that describe how a substance combines with other substances to form new chemicals or how a substance breaks up into two or more different substances
flammability
an indicator of how easily a substance catches fire
reactivity
a measure of how likely a particular metal is to take part in a displacement reaction
toxicity
the danger to your health caused when poisonous substances combine with chemicals in your body to produce new substances and damaging effects
reaction rate
speed at which a reaction takes place
