What Is The Particle Theory.
- All matter is made up of tiny particles known as atoms.
- Particles of matter are constantly in motion.
- Particles of matter attract each other.
- Particles of matter have spaces between them.
- As temperature increases, particles of matter move faster.
- Atoms of the same element are identical and atoms of different elements are different.
Physical Properties are?
Characteristic or description of a substance that can be observed (qualitative) or measured (quantitative) without changing the composition of the substance
Colour and Lustre:
the light a substance reflects gives it colour and lustre
Conductivity:
ability of a substance to conduct electricity or heat. A substance that does not conduct is called an insulator and if it does, a conductor
Density:
amount of mass in a given volume (g/cm3 )
Ductility:
any solid that can be stretched into a long wire
Hardness:
substanceโs ability to resist being scratched. Measured on the Mohs hardness scale.
