Physical and Chemical Properties of Matter
2

• All matter has distinct properties
• Two types of properties
• Physical
• Chemical

Physical Properties
Property Description
State Solid, liquid or gas
Cohesion Ability to stick to itself
Adhesion Ability to stick to other substances
Melting Point Temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid
5
Boiling Point Temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas
Colour Colour of an object
Lustre Shininess
Conductivity Ability of a substance to conduct electricity or heat
Density Amount of mass in a given volume
6
Ductility Ability of a substance to be stretched into a wire
Hardness Ability of a substance to resist being scratched
Malleability Ability of a substance to be made into a sheet
Viscosity Resistance of a fluid to flow
7
Chemical Property

• Definition describes the ability of a substance
  to change into a new substance or substances
• A chemical property is how a substance interacts
  with other substances, like an acid or heat
• A chemical change results in the formation of a
  new substance or substances
• A chemical reaction is the process in which a
  chemical change occurs
