properties of matter Flashcards
it has mass and volume. it can be in form of a solid, liquid or gas.
matter
a trait of matter that can be observed or measured without changing the chemical composition of the matter
physical property
how the objects absorbs and reflects light
colors (physical property)
how the substance looks and feels
texture (physical property)
the ratio of mass to volume; reflects the degree of packing of particles in matter
density (physical property)
ability of a substance to be hammered flat and to retain the shape
malleability (physical property)
a measure of the average kinetic energy (energy of motion) of particles in a substance
temperature (physical property)
the amount of matter in an object (in g or kg)
mass (physical property)
the amount of space an object occupies (in mL, L, cm3, m3, etc.)
volume (physical property)
the way that a substance reflects light (metalic, non-metalic, glassy, pearly, dull)
luster (physical property)
ability of a substance to be stretched into a wire
ductility (physical property)
either solid, liquid or gas
state of matter (physical property)
the exact temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid or a liquid becomes a solid
melting/freezing point
the exact temperature at which a liquid becomes a gas or a gas becomes a liquid
boiling/condensation point
one that does not depend on the amount of substance present.
intensive property
