physical properties
describes physical appearance/composition
- colour, melting/boiling point
- malleability, ductility, conductivity
malleability
how flexible it is
ductility
can it be stretched into wires
conductivity
will it carry an electrical current?
chemical properties
how a substance interacts with others
seen only with chemical reactions
- salt reacts with water, air, iron to make rust
physical change
change of states
dissolving
deformation
chemical bonds aren’t broken
chemical change
leads to new substances
chemical bonds are broken and new bonds are made
pure substance
only one kind of particle, unique properties
elements
can’t be broken down any simpler
found in periodic table
- carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, helium
compounds
2+ elements combined chemically
unique properties
- water = hydrogen + oxygen
- sugar=carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
mixture
combo. of pure substances - each substance remains in its pure form
