Physical properties Flashcards
Absorbent definition
able to soak up or draw in heat,light or moisture
Density definition
mass per unit volume of any material, how solid a material is
Electrical conductivity definition
measure at which a material can transport electricity
Fusibility definition
ability to convert into a fluid from solid by heat and combined with another material
Thermal conductivity definition
measure of a material’s ability to transfer heat
Physical properties definition
properties of any material that can be measure in their natural state
Absorbency example
cotton, more absorbent than acrylic
Density example
polystyrene, low density suitable for packaging
Electrical conductor example
copper, good conductor used for wiring
Fusibility example
metals and polymers, for casting and welding
