6.1 (CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL) Flashcards
Melting point
Temperature where a solid changes to a liquid
Boiling point
Temperature where a liquid forms vapor
Viscosity
The ability of a liquid to flow
Brittle
A material that breaks instead of bending when
under stress
Malleable
A material that can be bent, or hammered into
shape
Ductile
Can be stretched into a wire
Sonorous
Makes a ringing sound when hit
Solubility
Ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent
Concentration
Amount of one substance in a mixture
Density
Mass per unit volume of a substance
Electrostatic charge
Positive, or negative charge on a particle
Electrical conductivity
A material’s ability to conduct electricity
Thermal conductivity
Ability of a material to conduct heat
Melting
Changing from solid to liquid
Freezing/Solidifying
Changing from liquid to solid
Boiling/Evaporation
Changing from liquid to gas
Condensing
Changing from gas to liquid
Subliming
Changing from solid to gas, or gas to solid
Diffusion
Spreading out, from an area of high concentration
to low concentration by random motion.
Valency
Number of electrons that can be lost,
gained, or shared during a chemical
reaction
Forming Ions
Forming positive ions (cations), or negative
ions (anions)
Act as catalyst
Speed up other chemical reactions, without
being used up
Reactivity
How reactive a chemical is
