What is matter?
anything that has mass and volume
What is Volume?
anything that takes up space

What are physical properties?
Physical properties of matter are properties that can be observed or measured without without changing the identity of the matter.
What are some examples of physical properties?
texture, Oder, density, ductility, conductivity, shape, volume, state (solid, liquid, gas), magnetism, mass, malleability, solubility, color, and weight.
What is thermal conductivity?
the ability to transfer thermal energy (heat)
What is electrical conductivity?
the ability to transfer electricity
What is malleability?
the ability to be pounded into thin sheets
What is ductility?
the ability to be drawn into a wire
What is solubility?
the ability to dissolve into another substance
