Ductility
Ability to be stretched into a long wire
Colour
What colour it is.
Viscosity
Resistance to flow
Texture
What texture it has. Fine, coarse, rough, smooth, bumpy

How clear it is. Opaque, translucent, or transparent.
Luster
How shiny it is. Shiny or dull.
Density
How dense it is.
Conductivity
Ability to conduct heat or electricity.
Brittleness
Can it break apart easily? Brittle or flexible.
Hardness
Is it scratched easily?
Physical state
What state it’s in—solid, liquid, or gas
Form
Is its form regular (crystalline) or irregular (amorphous)
Melting point
The temperature of when it melts (solid to liquid)
Boiling point
Temperature when liquid boils (turns into gas)
Solubility
The measure of the ability of a substance to dissolve in another.
Formula for finding density
d = m/v
Formula for finding mass
M = VD
Formula for finding volume
V = m/d
