Q

What are the physical properties of matter?

A

they are the characteristics of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the substance’s chemical identity. if its observable without the creation of a new substance, its a physical property. (hardness, solubility, color, odor, density, malleability, conductivity, viscosity, etc…)

Q

what are the chemical properties of matter?

A

These describe how a substance reacts with other substances, leading to a change in its chemical composition and identity. if observing it results in a new substance, its a chemical property. (flammability, reactivity, toxicity, corrosion resistance, acidity)

Q

What are extensive properties?

A

they are properties that depend on the amount of material in a sample. (mass, volume, length, heat capacity)

Q

what are intensive properties?

A

they do not depend on the quantity of the material. They stay the same regardless of the amount of substance. (density, boiling point, conductivity, malleability)
