Answer 4

color, taste, odor, density, hardness, boiling point and freezing point

Question 5

property of matter that can be tested without changing the chemical formula of the matter

Answer 5

physical property

Question 6

examples of physical property

Answer 6

shape, size

Question 7

property of matter that can be tested by changing the chemical formula of matter

Answer 7

chemical property

Question 8

examples of chemical property

Answer 8

reactivity with water, flammability

Question 9

properties of metals

Answer 9

hard, malleable and ductile

alkaline oxides are formed after reacting with oxygen

melt and boil at high temp.

good conductors of heat and electricity

mainly solids @ room temp. (mercury is an exception)

high density

forms positive ions

Question 10

properties of non-metal

Answer 10

relatively brittle

acid oxides are formed after reacting with oxygen

melt and boil at low temp.

poor conductors of heat and electricity

solids, liquids and gases at room temp.

low density

forms negative ions except hydrogen and H+
