chemical properties
properties we can determine with chemical tests
4 chemical properties
-does it burn?
-does it support burning?
-does it react with acids
-does it react with bases
different between matter and energy
matter has the 4 general properties of matter
what are the 4 general properties of matter
-mass
-volume
-follows the law of impenetrability
-follows the law of inertia
law of impenetrability
no 2 objects can be in the same place at the same time
law of inertia
an object in motion stays in motion, an object at rest stays at rest, unless acted upon by an outside force
chemical formulas
a combination of number and symbols of the elements that represent a compound
subscript
represents the number of atoms, (on the left of the letter)
coefficient
appears in the beginning of a chemical formula and represents the number of molecules of that compound
viscosity
the degree to which a liquid flows easily or with difficulty
rigidity
the amount of firmness to the touch
reflectiveness
the quality of a surface which reflects light
conductivity
ability of matter to conduct heat
