Unit 1 Lesson 2 Properties Of Matter Flashcards
What are physical properties of matter
Mass and volume are physical properties. Changing the mass or volume of a substance does not change the substance identity. The state of matter is a physical property. The state of matter is the physical form of the matter. Most matter exists AS a solid liquid or gas
What is electrical conductivity
Electric conductivity is a measure of how well electric currents move through a substance
What is density
Density is the measure of the amount of matter in a given volume
What is thermal conductivity
Thermal conductivity is the rate at which a substance transfers heat.
What is solubility
Solubility is the ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance.
What is malleability
Is the ability of a substance to be rolled or pounded into various shapes
What is magnetic attraction
Magnetic attraction is a physical property that can be observed.
What is luster
Luster is the shine of a metal that can be easily observed.
What is melting point
The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which it changes from a solid to a liquid.
What is boiling point
The boiling point of a substance is the point at which the substance boils.
What is chemical property
A chemical property describes the ability of a substance to change into anew substance with different properties.
What is rust
The ability to rust or tarnish is a chemical property. When a metal rusts or tarnishes, it changes to a different substance.
What is flammability
Flammability is the ability of a substance to burn.
What is reactivity
Reactivity is the ability of a substance to interact with another substance and form one or more new substances
What is a physical substance
Can be observed without changing the identity of a substance.
