Distinguishing characteristic of a substance, used for identification & description
Property
Characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing the basic identity of a substance
Physical property
Common physical properties
Color, physical state (SLG), melting & boiling point, hardness
Characteristic of a substance that describes the way the substance undergoes or resists change to form a new substance
Chemical property
Interaction (reaction) of a substance with one or more substances
Chemical property
A change that occurs when there is a presence of energy (heat or light)
Decomposition (H2O2 > H2O and O2)
A substance changes its physical appearance but not its chemical composition
Physical change
A substance undergoes a change in chemical composition
Chemical change
Always involved conversion of the material/s into one or more new substances
Chemical change
