Properties of Matter Flashcards
All matter has _______
Physical and chemical properties
Characteristics that are measurable without changing the composition of the sample
Physical properties
What are some examples of physical properties?
Density, malleability, ductility, solubility, thermal conductivity
Characteristic ability of a substance to react to form a new substance
Chemical properties
What are some examples of chemical properties?
Combustibility, flammability, reactivity: oxidation of materials, burning wood, fireworks
What are the 2 classifications of physical properties?
Extensive and intensive properties
A property that varies with the amount of the substance (dependent on the amount of a substance)
Extensive properties
A property that is independent of the amount of a substance
Intensive properties
What are some examples of extensive properties?
Mass, volume, weight, length
What are some examples of intensive properties?
Color, boiling point, temperature, hardness, melting point (all at a given temperature)
