Unit B Matter And Chemical Change Flashcards
Chemical property
Any property that describes how a substance reacts with another substance when formed a new substance is a chemical property
Physical property
Any observational or measurable property without forming a new substance is a physical property
Qualitative
Characteristic that may be described but not measured
Quantitative
Can measured numerically

Vertical columns
Up and down
Alkali metals
In group one
are highly reactive with water metals
that do not occur freely in nature
are softer than most other metals
Alkaline earth metals
Metallic elements in group 2
very reactive with acid
Halogens
Non-metallic element in group 17
are the most reactive nonmetal
