1
Q
Name the 6 Different properties of Materials
A
- Strength
- Hardness
- Toughness
- Elasticity
- Ductility
- Malleability
2
Q
Name 4 Physical properties
A
- Electrical Conductivity
- Thermal conductivity
- Fusibility
- Density
- Absorbency
3
Q
What is Density
A
- Density is the Material that is measured as mass per unit volume
4
Q
What is Fusibility
A
- If a Material has a High Fusibility then they have low melting point so a small amount of heating is required to convert these Materials to liquids
5
Q
What is Absorbency
A
- Fibres and Fabrics That are Absorbent are good at Soaking Up moisture (Paper towels are really good at this)
6
Q
What’s a Non Metal
A
- Non Metals are very Brittle (They Break easily)
- They aren’t solid at room temperature
- They have Poor electrical conductors
- They are very Dense
- They are Dull Looking
7
Q
What’s a Metal
A
- Metals are very strong
- They are very Malleable
- They are good conductors of heat and electricity
- They have High melting points
