What are the two types of properties?
Physical and chemical
physical properties of matter
Color, Lustre, melting point, boiling point, hardness, malleability, ductility, crystal shape, solubility, density, conductivity
Temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid
Melting point
The temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas
Boiling point
Hardness
A substances ability to resist being scratched. Measured on Mohs’ hardness scale from 1 to 10
Malleability
A substance that can be pounded or rolled into sheets is said to be malleable
Ductility
Any solid that can be stretched into a long wire is said to be ductile. The most common example of a ductile material is copper
Crystal shape
The shape of a substance is crystals can help identify it. For example salt crystals form cubes
Solubility
The ability of a substance to be dissolved in another
Density
The amount of mass in a given volume
Conductivity
The ability of a substance to conduct electricity or heat
Examples of chemical properties
Reaction to acids, ability to burn, reaction with water, behavior in air, reaction to heat
Difference between chemical property and physical property
Chemical property describes how a substance interacts with other substances.physical properties are how a substance physically looks feels smells tastes etc.
Element versus compound
Elements are the basic building blocks for compounds. Elements cannot be broken down further but compounds can. For example water, H2O, can be broken down to two hydrogen Adams and one oxygen Atom
Suspensions versus colloids
While they both are cloudy mixtures and which tiny particles are suspended in a liquid, suspensions separate but colloids can’t
Aqueous solution
A substance dissolved in water
Mechanical mixture
The different substances that make up the mixture are visible. A.k.a. heterogeneous
Solution
The different substances that make up the mixture are not separately visible. A.k.a. homogenous
