Properties Of Matter Flashcards
What is a property?
A characteristic that can be used to identify a substance it can either be qualitative or quantitative
What is a physical property?
Characteristics of matter that are observed or measured without changing its identity [mass, weight, volume]
What is the physical property– The temperature went to liquid begins to boil?
Boiling point
What is the physical property – ability of an object to break apart or shatter easily?
Brittleness
What is the physical property – either transparent [clear], translucent [cloudy], or opaque [no light gets through]?
Clarity
What is the physical property – e.g. red, orange, yellow?
