Properties and Changes! Flashcards
Physical Property (two ways) and another word for property! What does it lead to?
A CHARACTERISTIC of a substance that you can observe/ measure that won’t change the identity of the substance. Or.. are measurable characteristics of something observable, without changing the composition or identity of the object or substance that will lead to a physical change.
Examples of physical property starters and a few examples:
Melting point, boiling point, (all phase change points), mass, volume, length, density, texture, breakable, bendable, flexible, magnetism/attraction, stretching, elastic, viscosity.
- Separating the OREO mixture by licking out the icing in the middle. (You are using physical properties by shape, size, color).
- When iron and sand combine they are not separated by size, but by the physical property of attraction to magnets.
Chemical Property
A characteristic/ ability of a substance that will result in a change in identity and will lead to a chemical change. (One to another)
Examples of chemical properties:
Flammability, oxidation, reactive, acidity, corrosion, combustibility, explosive, toxicity.
Properties and Changes are to science as_____ is to English.
Properties: Adjectives- describing words. Change: action words- verbs.
What is another word for change?
From/ To!
Physical Changes are a change in…
Shape, size, or form/SOM. (CHANGE IN APPEARANCE)
An example of physical changes being reversed?
Liquid water to ice and back to liquid water. (ONLY SOMETIMES)
Physical Change
Still the same material, but in a different shape, size, or form. Involve energy changes, but the kind of substance- the identity of element and compounds do not change.
Physical Change examples of starters:
Ex, breaking/broken, chewing, cracking. cutting, crinkling, chopping, blending, mixing, tearing, crushing, dissolving (depends), painting, sawing, sharpening, sewing together, phase changes, and bending.
Another name for chemical change?
REACTION.
Chemical Changes are a change in..
Identity- one substance to another and molecular changes.
Chemical changes are…
Irreversible
The atoms in chemical changes..
Separate and new substances are created.
During a chemical changes, are atoms lost or gained?
During a chemical change atoms are not lost of gained when changing from one substance to another even if it is a new size of shape. (The law of conservation of mass).
