10 properties of matter
Color Odor Mass Volume State Density Solubility Ductility Malleability Thermal conductivity
State
Solid, liquid, or gas
Solubility
Ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance
Ductility
Ability to be pulled into a wire
Malleability
Ability to be rolled or pulled into sheets
Thermal conductivity
Rate at which heat is transferred
chemical properties to describe matter
Flammability
Reaction with oxygen
Reaction with water
Reaction with acid
Difference between chemical and physical trait
A physical change only affects physical changes.
In a chemical change, there will be new substances with new properties
Archimedes principle
Buoyancy
Buoyant force
An upward force on objects in a fluid
What does Buoyancy depend on
Density
When will an object float or sink
If the object weighs more than the space it takes up, it will sink.
If it weighs less, it will float
Viscosity
Resistance to flow. The stronger the viscosity, the slower and object will flow in it. The warmer, the less viscosity.
Cohesion
When like molecules “stick together”.
Surface tension, what is it caused by
A force that acts on the particles at the surface of a liquid. It is caused by cohesion
Adhesion
Attraction between the molecules in a liquid and “something else”
